Main Challenge
Landlords frequently have spaces sitting vacant in shell condition. This presents a major challenge in helping prospective tenants visualize how their space program could be configured and the potential of these spaces.
Solution
The team turned to qbiq, an AI for architectural planning. With an input of only the shell plan, qbiq generates floor plan configurations and rendered flythroughs of the potential build-out of in hours. The tool is used strategically, and allows the team to present hyper-realistic visualizations of the future space during pitches, display rendered flythroughs on in-space monitors during tours, use visuals for marketing purposes and customize presentations with tenant branding.
Impact
Using qbiq had tangible business impact:
- Enhanced Pitch Success: The team attributes a 75% win rate when using qbiq in the pitch.
- Increased Tour Traffic: Renderings entice prospective tenants to tour shell spaces they might have otherwise overlooked.
- Client Confidence: Helps remove doubt by offering a clear and confident vision of what the final space could look like.

“Good marketing can be the difference between a win and a loss. With qbiq, we help tenants envision themselves in a space in the most accurate way available today, accelerating decision making drastically. This is definitely a tool that we use to remove all friction and really give tenants the confidence that we can deliver what they’re looking for."
