Planning a Project?

 An upfit is the modification of a space – upfit (fitting) an existing space or a newly  acquired commercial space to accommodate a renter or expand lease  opportunities. These upfit projects are where changes are made to the interior of  a commercial property. 

Generally, when a tenant vacates a commercial space, the space is converted  back to a shell. The new tenant may then personalize the interior and expand as  needed. A tenant upfit usually includes putting in walls with a custom layout,  flooring, ceiling, lighting, and office styles. 

Office styles can be categorized in 3 packages: 

Progressive:

Open floor plan with no enclosed offices with plenty of  conference and collaboration space 

Moderate:

10% enclosed offices but mostly open workspaces with  conference space and two to four collaboration spaces 

Traditional:

40% enclosed office space and large, open floor plan workspaces 

As a landlord or owner of a space, you may need a basic upfit that includes  expanding space, adding HVAC, electricity, plumbing, and exterior  customization.
