— COMMERCIAL

The same methodology, applied before the lease is signed.

Integro's residential practice was built on one principle: enter early, while decisions still have room to move. We bring that same approach to commercial projects — aligning the design, the budget, the schedule, and the pro forma before the concept is finalized.

Commercial work spans a wide range of building types — each with its own rhythm, regulatory layer, and operational demands.

Across all of them, our role is the same: understanding the business behind the build, early enough for that understanding to shape the outcome.

— WHERE WE WORK

RETAIL | HOSPITALITY

Guest-facing spaces carry pressure that goes beyond square footage. Finishes, sequencing, and timelines are tied directly to revenue. We work alongside owners and operators to align design decisions with opening dates and budgets from the earliest concept stage so the build supports the brand, rather than working against it.

OFFICE | CARE ECONOMY

From professional offices to clinical and care-based environments such as early childhood daycares, animal facilities, and med spas — these projects often carry layered regulatory requirements and a need for spaces that feel considered. We bring the same early discipline here, working with architects and operators to balance compliance, budget, and the client experience that the space is meant to create.

LIGHT INDUSTRIAL

Warehouse, distribution, task-specific equipment, and office spaces are defined by function — clear spans, loading access, power capacity, and code compliance all shape what's possible before design begins. We help owners and their architects understand those constraints early so the building serves the operation it's built to perform.

For commercial projects, building science translates directly to the bottom line. Acoustics, indoor air quality, and hygiene are not finish decisions; they are assembly decisions made during design development that determine how a space performs for the people inside it and how it holds its value for the owner over time. We bring that perspective into the preconstruction conversation alongside the pro forma — because a high-performing building and a high-performing exit strategy are not separate goals.

IDEAL ENTRY POINT

For most operators, the business plan and the build plan are written by people who never talk.

A first-time developer or an operator expanding to multiple locations typically assembles their team in sequence: a lease, then an architect, then a contractor, then — eventually — a reckoning with what it all costs. Each conversation happens in isolation and the gaps between them are where budget breaks down and the business gets delayed.

We avoid those slowdowns by entering early, often alongside the architect, from the earliest concept conversations and often before a lease is signed. The same preconstruction discipline that defines our residential work applies here: understand the full picture first, then build toward it with everyone on board.

“The answer is yes. The question is ‘how much?’ ” — Allyson Anderson | CEO

— HOW WE ENTER

Integro joins the conversation. Early in the process — often alongside the architect, and sometimes before an architect has been selected — we help assess whether the concept is buildable within the budget being considered.

CONCEPT & FEASIBILITY

Construction costs are weighed against the pro forma — not after design, but as part of shaping the business plan. If the numbers don't work, we say so early, while changing course is still simple.

PRO FORMA ALIGNMENT

We review site conditions and lease terms for construction implications before they're finalized — flagging issues that would otherwise surface as expensive surprises mid-project.

SITE & LEASE REVIEW

Together with the architect, we provide the same preconstruction partnership our residential clients rely on: budget, constructability, and sequencing developed alongside the design.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Execution proceeds against a plan that was tested against reality from the start — by us, by your consultants, and by you.

PERMIT & COORDINATION

A space that opens on the timeline and terms that were planned for because the plan accounted for construction from the beginning, not the bid set.

OCCUPANCY

— THE NETWORK

The team you don’t know you need yet.

Most first-time developers and expanding operators don't know which specialists they need until they're already behind. We've assembled a bench of independent professionals who already speak construction so you're not educating your advisors while also trying to open a business.

CPA & Financial Strategy

Pro forma development and lender communication from a CPA who understands the language of the bank.

Fractional Operations

Operational planning — staffing, workflow, and systems considered alongside design to ensure that scaling enterprises are built to last.

Commercial Brokerage

A boutique brokerage relationship for site selection and lease negotiation, with no conflict of interest with the construction decision or seller/lessor transaction.

Executive Coaching

Support for the operator making big moves, ensuring ambitions are met with thoughtful planning.

Capital Partners & Lenders

Relationships with lenders and capital partners who understand construction-phase risk, when a project's financing depends on the build being credible.

HOW THIS WORKS

We don't generate fees by making introductions. Each member of this network is brought in because the project benefits — and each one understands that their role is to serve the pro forma, not their own engagement.

— WHO THIS IS FOR

Two kinds of clients, one starting point.

You have a concept — a retail concept, a ground-floor space, a vision for a property — but you've never taken a commercial project from idea to occupancy. You need a partner who can tell you, honestly and early, whether the numbers work and what it will actually take to get there.
You've run a successful business and you're proving the model — but each new location brings its own construction timeline, budget, and site conditions. The business operates differently at scale, and the build needs to keep pace. You need a team that understands both the build and the business it's built for so that each location supports the operation rather than complicating it.
