Land Development
Commercial, Office and Retail
AKRF works with property owners, developers, and tenants on single- and mixed-use commercial, office, and retail developments.
Our involvement in the design and construction of new retail properties and commercial buildings as well as adaptive reuse, repositioning, and tenant fitouts for existing properties spans a variety of clients and services throughout our footprint.
These projects take us to urban and suburban communities alike and often necessitate an integrated team of professionals solving challenges related to site development, transportation access, and energy and water infrastructure.
