When tenants, hotel guests, and everyday visitors walk through the ground floor of Headquarters Plaza, they’re greeted by something fresh. The space looks completely new, but that transformation didn’t happen overnight. It required careful planning, strategic phasing, and meticulous coordination.

That’s where Unity Construction came in. As a trusted commercial construction company, Unity handled the job precisely and carefully, keeping the building functional while giving it a new vibe.

This commercial construction project showcases Unity’s ability to manage upgrades in high-traffic, urban environments. Here’s how we made it happen, all while keeping the lights on and the doors open.

Phased Planning for a Busy Property

Renovating a space that people are still using? That’s tricky. We broke the work into three phases, building around the tenants. With full-height temporary walls in place, we created safe walkways and clear separation to keep things moving without missing a beat.

It’s an approach that’s essential for any construction in occupied buildings, especially when adhering to municipal regulations and permitting processes.

Vacant Offices, Reinvented

Some unused offices were gathering dust on the concourse. We gave them purpose again, turning them into high-functioning, modern workspaces that support hybrid schedules, collaborative teams, and everything in between. This wasn’t just paint and carpet; we rebuilt these areas from the inside out.

The adaptive reuse of space like this not only improves efficiency but also aligns with sustainability goals and energy code compliance.

Glass-Walled Flex Rooms for Dynamic Meetings

Need a spot for a quick huddle or a client call that doesn’t feel like a closet? Unity added Flex Conference and Huddle Rooms with full glass walls, bringing in natural light and keeping things open without sacrificing privacy. These rooms are sleek, innovative, and ready for real work.

Incorporating elements like natural light and noise control is a growing trend in tenant improvement projects across the industry.

An Inviting Collaborative Hub

We didn’t just connect spaces, we created one. The open collaboration zone now has luxury vinyl floors, acoustic wood baffles, and custom wall finishes that bring personality and energy. It’s no longer just a hallway; it’s a place where people want to meet, talk, and work.

Collaborative hubs like these are becoming a cornerstone in modern commercial interior design, especially in Class A office buildings.

Lighting that Elevates the Experience

Good lighting changes everything. We upgraded the concourse with linear fixtures, skylight-style fabric lights, and decorative pendants. The result? A warm, inviting atmosphere that feels high-end without being over-the-top.

Lighting systems were selected not just for aesthetics but also for energy efficiency and compliance with updated building codes.

Hospitality That Makes a Statement

Unity added a custom Hospitality Bar and banquette seating, giving tenants and guests a space that feels more like a boutique hotel than a typical office building. Whether it’s a coffee break or a casual meeting, this space was designed to impress and relax all at once.

This hospitality-forward element is a great example of blending commercial and hospitality design – a trend we’re seeing more often in today’s commercial construction projects.

Fresh Corridors, Polished to Perfection

The renovation wasn’t just about the headline areas. Unity also gave the corridors a facelift, updating them with modern finishes that tie everything together. These small touches go a long way in making the entire space feel brand new.

Corridor upgrades may seem minor but they play a crucial role in wayfinding, aesthetics, and creating a cohesive tenant experience.

Tenant Feedback That Speaks Volumes

Tenants’ feedback, including the on-site Hyatt Hotel, was overwhelmingly positive. They loved the transformation and appreciated how Unity kept things running smoothly from start to finish. The finished product? A space that’s not just beautiful but functional and built to last.

This commercial construction project is a testament to what’s possible when design, planning, and execution are fully aligned.
