WELCOME TO ESD!




THE EXPERIENCE TO SIMPLIFY YOUR DECISIONS

Your real estate investments directly impact your success. You deserve a
consulting and engineering partner with the experience to help you understand
tomorrow’s needs, collaborate on practical solutions, and simplify your
decisions.

Data Centers

Tomorrow’s mission critical facilities offer unprecedented potential with better
performance and greater bandwidth. They also face a new world of threats and
vulnerabilities.

We have the experience and the expertise to make sure data centers operate at
the top of their capabilities in a protected environment.

Workplace Interiors

Better workspaces mean healthier environments and more flexible, creative, and
productive spaces that deliver tenant satisfaction.

We don’t just design these — we live them by incorporating core concepts into
our own office environments.

High Rise Buildings

We help developers differentiate their buildings through our
integrated/optimized solutions including health and wellness, sustainability,
efficient MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), and intelligent building
design.

By identifying and implementing key features and systems to tall urban
structures, we make it easier to attract anchor tenants.

Real Estate Asset Repositioning

Repositioning existing facilities can often lead to big dividends for building
owners and operators. We know how to maximize building systems and layouts to
help add value, attract and retain premier tenants, and improve overall
functionality by enhancing operations and maintenance procedures that can lead
to lower costs.

Our vision can take your property to a whole new level.

Healthcare and Life Sciences

Leveraging biosafety level (BSL) experience to design appropriate safeguards and
functionality is paramount in all our healthcare and life sciences projects. We
also have the skill and vision to reimagine and reconfigure existing spaces for
speed-to-market repurposing.

As the business model for large health systems continues to evolve, we are ready
to find new healthcare uses and opportunities for existing buildings.

 

Hospitality and Convention Centers

The heart of any thriving tourism industry is a strong hospitality and
convention center infrastructure. ESD helps facility owners drive economic
development by expanding and refreshing convention centers and hotels to help
them remain competitive in attracting major events.

We also provide solutions to enable the quick transformation (logistics) of
convention space for different uses and requirements.

 


OUR MISSION IS TO IMPROVE SOCIETY THROUGH THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT.


SERVICES: NO SILOS, NO BARRIERS, NO LIMITS

Today’s buildings are vastly complex. That means all teams have to work as one.
That’s what ESD does: unify our processes to give you the widest range of
expertise and possibilities. Whether you are looking for intelligent buildings,
have health and wellness concerns, and/or need to achieve sustainability goals.

HOW DO TODAY’S REAL ESTATE VISIONARIES IMAGINE TOMORROW?

Buildings need to provide for altered expectations in a changing world. They
have to work for their tenants, for the community, and for the environment. When
you are dreaming of tomorrow’s projects, you want to plan for three things.

 * Economic
 * Environmental
 * Experiential

Tenants rely on builders, operators, and owners to protect their interests and
boost their productivity, satisfaction, and even health. Our experts help make
that possible.

Make buildings matter. Make buildings last. Make the built environment make a
difference.

LATEST NEWS + EVENTS

Why Should Building Owners Consider Electrification as a Sustainability
Strategy?

Using electricity in lieu of natural gas can position a facility to reduce its
on-site operational carbon footprint over time. That is especially true as
utility sources such as wind and photovoltaic reach cost parity with coal and
natural gas making the grid profile more renewable each year. (Learn more about
building electrification.)

Shaping Future Healthcare Facilities

ESD Studio Leaders Craig Kos (Healthcare) and Erik Nelson (Technology) will be
joining a panel of industry experts at an upcoming Chicago event sponsored by
The Association of Medical Facility Professionals (AMFP). It is part of AMFP’s
mission “To be the hub where healthcare-built environment leaders share ideas,
gain knowledge, solve challenges, connect with peers, and shape the future of
the industry.” (Learn more about the AMFP event.)

Karnatz Joins Conference to Talk Building Operations Technology

Getting the most out of buildings—cost, speed to market, sustainability, user
experience, wellness, and more—is the focus of “The Buildings Conference 2023”
sponsored by BuiltWorlds. ESD President Kurt Karnatz joins a panel of
professional peers as part of the two-day event starting May 18 in Chicago.
(Learn more about BuiltWorlds conference.)


DESIGN FOR TOMORROW.
PLAN FOR THE DAY AFTER.

The future isn’t distant: it starts today.
Let’s solve problems together. Let’s build solutions.
