Commercial Real Estate

Transforming properties to attract and retain tenants

The commercial real estate sector is facing major challenges, further exacerbated by rising construction costs, increasing interest rates and growing economic uncertainty. We help navigate this shift by creating engaging, service-rich environments that attract tenants, enhance satisfaction and improve profitability — turning these challenges into opportunities for long-term growth.

Adapting spaces to a new reality

As remote and hybrid work become the norm, many companies are downsizing their offices or looking for more flexible spaces. Property owners are feeling the impact — especially in suburban areas — facing higher vacancy rates and the need to rethink how their spaces are used. At the same time, there’s growing pressure to improve profitability and meet rising environmental expectations, with more tenants and investors prioritizing low-carbon, certified buildings like BREEAM and LEED.

Building management is getting smarter. Today’s properties need tech like IoT sensors, data tools and digital platforms to better manage space and deliver a smoother tenant experience. The challenge? Adapting to these new expectations — flexibility, technology, service and sustainability — while staying competitive and profitable in a slower, more selective market.

Powering real estate transformation

Circles helps commercial real estate leaders design spaces that attract and retain tenants. From build-out to activation, we provide expert guidance on design and employee services — then stay hands-on to bring it all to life. Our services integrate into your building’s app for a seamless tenant experience. We also support leasing efforts by assisting brokers, managing events and leading engaging tours. Our hospitality managers act as experience ambassadors, helping prospects envision themselves in the space.

Enhancing tenant experience to increase attractiveness

To boost occupancy and profitability, buildings need to do more than offer space — they need to offer experience. Circles helps create welcoming, high-energy environments where tenants feel supported, connected and inspired.

We design programs that bring common areas to life with events, wellness services and learning opportunities. From on-site coaching and mental health webinars to everyday concierge support, we make daily life easier and more engaging. By turning the office into a place people want to be, Circles helps property owners increase tenant satisfaction and drive long-term value.
