cantor developmentNUTS AND BOLTSSquare feet: 1,880People employed there: FourBased here since: One and a half years Outside firms enlisted: Cantor Partners, Bovis Lend Lease (Tampa office), Studio M
THOUGHTS AND SPECIFICSDescribe your office in three words: High-tech, refined simplicity
What sets your office apart from others: The confer-ence room looks out on to the world’s largest man-made waterfall.
How your office helps your company achieve its goals: Being in real estate development, we find it nec-essary to showcase our talents through our office. Every individual who walks through the door can see that our office is a reflection of our development experience.
How your office reflects the message of the company: We consider ourselves state of the art in real estate development, therefore our office space reflects our message of building “timeless works of art.”
How your investment in the space is providing a return to the bottom line: We bring clients to our space, which shows them that we are not an overnight operation.
What’s one “cool” thing you still want to do with your office when you can in the future? Extend the space into a larger office without losing the cool feel that we already have.

GraFX deSIGn oF tampaNUTS AND BOLTSSquare feet: 4,000People employed there: 12Based here since: Grafx has been at the new office loca-tion since March 2008; office was completely remodeled.
Outside firms enlisted: Grafx’ owners Spyro Marousis and Kathy Stack designed the office space and a local architect provided the plans.
THOUGHTS AND SPECIFICSDescribe your office in three words: Modern, fun, creative
What sets your office apart from others: Our office was designed for our employees, giving them the creative atmosphere they need. Our office has a pool table in the loft — used for relaxing or meeting to go over new fun creative ideas. The loft is also has a hangout area to kick back, watch TV or play Wii. Our generous owners stock our kitchen with food, snacks, soda and any other snacks our staff might enjoy. The creative minds need fuel to keep the creative juices going.
How your office helps your company achieve its goals: Our office shows we’re a creative team and we like to take things to the next level.
How your office reflects the message of the company: Our office reflects our company message and showcases the work we can provide to clients. Our clients love our website and design capabilities, but when they come to the office we hear them say, “Wow you guys really know what you’re doing.” Our design capabili-ties and our office go hand and hand, the atmosphere that you need to succeed is all around us on a daily basis.
How your investment in the space is providing a return to the bottom line: Grafx’ new office and investment is definitely providing return to the bottom line. With an upbeat office and creative atmosphere our employees are less likely to leave Grafx, call in sick, etc. Grafx has two employees who have been with the company for 14 years.
laKeWood rancH plaStIc SUrGerYNUTS AND BOLTSSquare feet: 3,800People employed there: 12Based here since: November 2008How recently did you remodel? Finished November 2008
Outside firms enlisted: Carlson Studio Architecture, RC Moore Construction, Norman Hervieux
THOUGHTS AND SPECIFICSDescribe your office in three words: Sustainable, natural, relaxing
What sets your office apart from others: It is seeking LEED Certification. The spa-like environment is unique to the typical doctor’s office.
What does your office have that we might not find elsewhere? Curved stone wall, water wall, original artwork by the doctors
How your office helps your company achieve its goals: As physicians, we strive to heal people. Having a healthy, relaxing, beautiful environment immediately puts people more at ease, which in turn helps us to achieve our goals — confidence, comfort and health.
How your office reflects the message of the com-pany: Our mission is to provide the best possible experi-ence in every way. Customer service, health and comfort are very important to us, and our office hopefully relays that message with great staff and a beautiful place.
How your investment in the space is providing a return to the bottom line: Energy efficiency results in lower utility bills, beauty and comfort, and light results in happier staff, happier doctors and happier patients.
What’s one “cool” thing you still want to do with your office when you can in the future? We would like to paint more oil paintings.
FlorIda BUSIneSS InterIorSNUTS AND BOLTSSquare feet: 5,000People employed there: 14Based here since: Opened in November 2007 with a complete new interior build-out
Outside firms enlisted: Chancey Design Partnership, Michael Young Construction
THOUGHTS AND SPECIFICSDescribe your office in three words: Innovative, energetic, creative
What sets your office apart from others: Our office was built out using a completely modular approach. We started with raised access floors and put all of our utili-ties (voice, data, power, plumbing and sound masking) under floor on a modular basis. The walls for our break and conference space are completely demountable. And of course our furniture is completely modular.
How your office helps your company achieve its goals: It has helped us demonstrate a completely sus-tainable, modular approach for building out real estate, adding to its value. … Because of that, people see us more than just an office furniture dealership and more of a resource to demonstrate flexibility in real estate. It has also been an incredible attraction tool for hiring the area’s top talent.
How your investment in the space is providing a return to the bottom line: Most everything we did in our space is considered personal property versus built in place, fixed construction. As such, we are able to depreciate a large portion of our build-out in five years versus traditional construction, which is 39 years. We also believe that we have gained several large customers because they see us different from those in our industry.

How your office reflects the message of the company: We are anything but traditionalist in an industry that is known for tradition. We incorporated clever affordable ideas into a look that feels far more complex. This is what we do. We design and build solutions, just like our new home.
