Renovation Trends for Commercial Properties

So much of the property renovation and remodeling industry is focused on residential buildings, such as single-family and multi-family homes. But what about commercial properties that house businesses or for other purposes?

Whether a structure is for residential or commercial use, these buildings have both functional and aesthetic features that must be kept up and will eventually need a facelift. And much like the design trends of the interior and exterior of living spaces, commercial properties have their own set of trends.

The Window Depot has worked on several commercial properties around Tampa Bay and its surrounding areas, seeing in real-time the evolution of what trends are happening in both sectors. Here are some recent trends in commercial property renovation.

Form and Function Trends in Commercial Property Renovation

Sanitary and Hands-Free Bathrooms - Whether a commercial property has a lot of customer foot traffic or only clients visiting at times, there has been a boom in touch-less commercial bathrooms following the pandemic. This includes even the smallest feature like a metal handle to open the door for your foot.

Health-Conscious Building Materials - From metals that disallow microbes to thrive to more natural light, the specific building styles and materials utilized during a commercial property remodel are more safe and beneficial to individual health than years prior. A significant change in the commercial remodeling industry has been the replacement of carpeted floors for hard surface alternatives.

Hybrid Spaces - Offices and educational institutions that have seen a significant shift to remote work are starting to drive trends in commercial renovation design trends. Instead of traditional classrooms or conference areas, there are more function-specific spaces, such as dedicated areas for virtual instruction.

Functional Warehouses - With online shopping growing exponentially, warehouses and shipping centers must be more efficient than ever. As a result, many commercial spaces are now being renovated for workers and autonomous machines to work successfully with minimal interruptions.

Better Air Quality - This is a valuable investment in many commercial properties. HVAC systems have improved over the years, and now with health more at the forefront of customer and employee's minds more than ever, this trend of high-end HVAC improvements has taken hold.

Together Separately - Similar to more functional warehouse layouts, this interior design methodology is implemented more frequently at healthcare facilities. Interior walls and rooms are now laid out to minimize too many individuals from being confined to a specific area.
