CORPORATE & COMMERCIAL

SmithGroup has long been an industry leader in the evolution of corporate and commercial real estate, from workplace strategy and corporate interiors to commercial office buildings and innovative headquarters. As the boundaries between live, work and play blur, commercial real estate assets must take on more complex roles. They need to be adaptable and dynamic, offering inspiring environments for various types of work, creative spaces that nurture innovation and self-directed areas for focus and personal time. We have a deep understanding of how today’s employees want to work, and we excel at translating those evolving behaviors into spaces that are productive, flexible, stimulating, and serve as a catalyst for success in an ever-changing world.

CORPORATE & COMMERCIAL LEADERSHIP

CORPORATE & COMMERCIAL EXPERTS

LinkedIn employees walked beneath the wrought iron canopy into one of the most stunning projects my Global Workplace Services team has delivered, and now a personal favorite of my 30-year career. The attention to detail and flood of natural light in every space is mesmerizing.  SmithGroup’s design team successfully tied the new to the old—enabling people to feel a tangible connection to the transformation of Detroit. I hope everyone who visits us has the same sense of pride and promise that I do.

In 2024, SmithGroup's workplace design and strategy leaders hosted corporate and commercial real estate executives, developers, brokers and specialists from across the nation for a two-day summit to explore the future of commercial real estate development. To share what we've learned we've developed a summary of findings and a brief video highlighting what participants thought of the experience. We invite you to explore the content and share with others in your field.
