Our team worked with the client to ensure that this new space would provide a similar blend of fun and professionalism, with the suite acting like a private lobby extension. Though the Allen Center’s bustling lobby experiences plenty of foot traffic, the Brookfield suites provide plenty of privacy for brokers seeking a quiet place to work. Along with traditional workspaces, employees can leverage the conference rooms for hosting client meetings or to showcase the firm’s downtown real estate portfolio through realistic models.

The suite also features several significant inclusions, such as a golf simulator and bar area. While these features are fun additions to an already vibrant environment, they’re included in the design for Brookfield Properties to cultivate its internal community and bolster tenant relationships. The golf simulator, for example, is the perfect place for team members to come together and ideate or entertain potential tenants —with the added benefit of helping to improve their collective golf swings. Likewise, the bar serves as a comfortable and refined relaxation area, with sophisticated brass taps and plenty of coolers for beer, wine, soda, or sparkling water. It’s the perfect spot for employees looking to chat with tenants or unwind with colleagues after a long day.

Ultimately, our design solution aimed to create a big splash in a relatively small space, maximizing the space’s impact and showcasing the type of elevated experiences that Brookfield Properties’ tenants can expect. Through subtle design touches such as previously mentioned brass taps or understated light fixtures, the space seamlessly blends elegance and approachability.

Brookfield’s new suite perfectly aligns with the entirety of the Allen Center’s aesthetic and tone while providing the firm with a place to focus on building impactful relationships with tenants through elevated hospitality. The firm’s home-away-from-home is the perfect place to work...or for the team to practice their golf swings together!
