“PMI’s Renovation of a 1920 Craftsman House: Blending Old Charm with Modern Comfort”

PMI has recently completed a renovation project on a 1920 Craftsman house, giving it a new  life. This renovation included updates to the kitchen, bathroom, flooring, and lighting. .To achieve this transformation, PMI carefully studied successful Craftsman renovations from the past. The goal was to strike a harmonious balance between integrating contemporary features that appeal to today’s tenants and buyers while still preserving the cherished architectural heritage of the Craftsman era. We want to give credit to our Development Manager for her design and execution of the renovations.  The house now seamlessly blends the old and the new, making it an attractive option for those who appreciate both historical character and modern comfort.”

Introducing a transformative paradigm within the real estate asset landscape – the amalgamation of industrial and creative office spaces, colloquially termed “Creative Flex.” This concept transcends conventional boundaries in workspace functionality, artfully amalgamating the aesthetic and collaborative nuances intrinsic to creative offices with the pragmatic features inherent to industrial warehouse facilities. In an era marked by the ascendancy of remote work arrangements, workplaces specifically designed to accommodate business functions that defy remote execution have emerged as a pertinent consideration. Given the pre-existing conversions of many creative office edifices from former warehouses, the transition to flex space represents a logical and potentially seamless progression.

Within the realm of Creative Flex, the office segment seamlessly fuses the refined design elements emblematic of creative office spaces with the utilitarian attributes that hallmark warehouses. Envision a workspace that seamlessly encapsulates the quintessence of both worlds: the convivial ambiance and lightning-fast super fiber connectivity reminiscent of creative offices, coalescing harmoniously with the soaring ceiling elevations and loading capabilities traditionally associated with industrial structures.

We have already had many of these tenants from apparel companies, a company that is electrifying the train industry, social media company with in office studios, an IT company that deal also with hardware, a food retailer and manufacturer that needed kitchens and offices.
