Rightsize Facility was thrilled to sponsor this year’s FUND Conference, also known as Midwest’s deal conference. We were able to network with executives from incubators, startups and emerging businesses, many of which Rightsize has helped PLAN, FURNISH and SERVICE their offices, including SpotHero, a parking reservation service that connects drivers looking to reserve and prepay for parking spaces with parking lots, garages and valet services. These companies are now thriving in their environments and continue to grow. We also enjoyed meeting other Chicagoland area startups and investors and look forward to possibly partnering with them to PLAN, FURNISH and SERVICE their first offices.
Procuring the best furniture for your office is a complicated process that involves consideration of the workspace’s desired usage, look and brand perception – both internal and external. A one size fits all approach does not work.
A company specializing in transportation equipment investment and management needed a contemporary office space to reflect its role as an industry leader in the rail and aviation equipment industry. The company approached Rightsize Facility to PLAN and FURNISH its Chicago headquarters to achieve a sleek and sophisticated look.
“It was very important to have a professional, modern-looking office space,” said Michael Yovkovich, Managing Partner at RESIDCO. “The end result here is just head and shoulders above what we had previously. [Rightsize] was able to take all of these new ideas and new colors, and mix them in with some of our older furniture.”
Rightsize collaborated with staff members to understand specific needs before generating creative and customized solutions to meet the company’s specifications. The Rightsize team blended new and existing furnishings to create a distinct aesthetic for the RESIDCO office.
“We à-la-carte pieced and ordered work surfaces, legs and power management,” said Vanessa Courtney, Workplace Solutions Manager at Rightsize. “Because their rooms were a bit of a unique shape, and every individual person had specific needs and wants in their office, we really kind of LEGO-pieced it together.”
In addition to wall-to-wall furniture solutions, Rightsize also coordinated with trusted Value-Added Service Providers (VASPs) to manage every aspect of the project – from wall fixtures to IT cabling. These comprehensive services gave the RESIDCO team peace of mind throughout each step of the process.
“Color choosing, floors, carpeting – even the things they didn’t provide, they were one phone call away,” said Yovkovich. “If we needed just an opinion on something, they were more than happy to provide it. It made us feel a lot better about our decisions.”
Through its stylish, modern office space, RESIDCO demonstrates its standing as a leader in a competitive industry.
“I would recommend Rightsize to everybody,” said Yovkovich. “Not only do we use their design team, we use their move team. It’s a full-service experience. It’s great to work with one group of people. They’re all tuned in, they’re coordinated, they know what’s going on. If you’re looking for a full-service solution, Rightsize Facility was a great option for us, and I think they’d be a great option for a lot of companies in the Chicagoland area.”
The Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce (NACC) recently unveiled a refreshed brand identity and a revitalized office at an opening ceremony celebration.
We were presented with the challenge of helping a loan installment company in Des Plaines, IL not only expand into a new space, but also to help them make that space functional. We performed leaps and bounds over this hurdle and our designer, Katie Windisch, explains how.
More and more offices are moving toward a ‘resimercial’ aesthetic, including Chicago’s own parking deal specialists. We worked with this downtown Chicago start-up to create an office space where their staff could feel like they’re working at home.
With an eye toward future growth, the Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation announced this week that it will move its headquarters to the historic Fisher Building in Detroit’s New Center in October 2017. The Foundation will relocate from a temporary space in the old Hutzel Hospital building, and lease a 5,700-square-foot space on the Fisher Building’s second floor.
This summer we were hardly resting on our laurels. Rightsize Facility successfully completed hundreds of projects and hosted and sponsored several fun events. Here’s a look back at what we accomplished.
