With a deep understanding of real estate operations, we deliver thoughtful architectural solutions that reduce friction, accelerate project delivery, and increase asset value. Our integrated teams navigate inherited conditions, re-permitting, and operational constraints. From early planning through coordinated documentation and hands-on support, we help you move projects forward with clarity, confidence, and minimal disruption.
We help you create adaptable, intuitive environments that balance aesthetics with real functional needs. Whether you’re transforming an underutilized property into a destination, reimagining healthcare spaces for better outcomes, or redefining the workplace to support new ways of working, we see every project as a catalyst for progress. By understanding what your clients or your organization needs to achieve, we design interiors that perform.
Our highly experienced teams help you navigate the realities of TI improvements by focusing on what makes financial and operational sense for both owners and tenants. By understanding the lease structure, TI allowance, and the trade-offs that shape investment decisions, we target the upgrades that have the greatest impact on leasing performance and day-to-day use. We work closely with brokers, property managers, and tenants to understand what truly moves the market, translating those constraints into smart, high-impact design decisions.
Spec suites solve for two things every market is short on: certainty and time. They give tenants flexibility and owners velocity. We help you design move-in-ready spaces that reflect modern workplace expectations while allowing just enough customization to make them feel personal. We translate market expectations into smart layouts and clean finishes that lease faster, support better tenant experience, and protect long-term asset value.
We serve as long-term stewards of hundreds of buildings, helping owners care for, modernize, and extend the life of their assets. With a deep understanding of operational pressures, legacy systems and infrastructure, and regulatory complexity, we help you assess current conditions, identify high-impact opportunities, and design targeted upgrades that improve performance, reduce costs, and enhance curb appeal.
Accurate measurement drives every real estate decision. When information is outdated or inconsistent, it creates valuation gaps, compliance risks, and transaction delays that undermine asset performance. Our Real Estate Measurement & Analytics Group brings clarity to complexity through verified, BOMA-compliant data that enhances confidence and protects value. By transforming raw information into reliable insight, we help you move faster, negotiate smarter, and manage your portfolio with precision and purpose.
Our feasibility studies and due diligence evaluate what is possible, what is limited, and what approvals are required before assumptions are made. By translating shifting codes into clear, actionable pathways, we help clients set informed expectations for scope, budget, schedule, and jurisdictional approvals - minimizing risk, expediting reviews, and keeping projects moving forward.
Accessibility is embedded in SAA’s design philosophy. Our team brings deep expertise in ADA, CBC, and local regulations to create environments that welcome everyone without compromising design integrity. Through thoughtful planning and proactive compliance strategies, we help you deliver spaces that are both beautiful and universally accessible.
With thousands of projects completed each year, our integrated teams bring deep portfolio insight and technical rigor to help you make decisions faster, reduce risk, and ensure consistent quality across multi-site portfolios. We work as an extension of your team, aligning early around your operational and strategic goals and balancing creativity with performance requirements at every stage, from programming and space planning to coordinated documentation and hands-on support.
We help you cut through the noise of workplace strategy by anchoring every recommendation in the realities of your business. By connecting market experience with technical expertise in codes, permitting, and operations, we bridge tenant and owner objectives, translating that dual perspective into practical guidance.
Our teams work with building owners, property managers, and brokers to create the plans, exhibits, and recommendations that make spaces easier to understand and faster to position. By focusing on what tenants need to make decisions and what owners need to protect value, we streamline the leasing process, and support stronger occupancy performance across your portfolio.
We provide practical, insight-driven tools for real estate occupiers and investors to improve their competitive advantage. For occupiers, this can mean a more flexible, cost-effective, and enabling workplace. For investors, we devise strategies to reduce risk and enhance returns and asset value. Led by a senior advisor with deep real estate development experience, our services focus on aligning real estate with your business goals. Our advisory practice exists to provide comprehensive life-cycle strategies and hands-on, real-time management for all aspects of commercial real estate.
We approach sustainability the way we approach everything else: with an eye toward efficiency, long-term value, and what delivers the greatest impact within your operational and financial realities. For clients pursuing formal recognition through LEED, our credentialed team can guide that process from strategy through documentation.
