The Nickley Group
At Invision Development, we understand that a well-designed office space can be a game-changer for any business. When The Nickley Group, one of Orlando’s top real estate teams, approached us for a custom interior buildout for their new office space, we knew it had to reflect their dynamic approach to real estate, their brand identity, and the professional atmosphere they strive to maintain. The result was a vibrant, modern office that fosters productivity, collaboration, and creativity.
Project Overview
Client: The Nickley Group
Location: Orlando, Florida
Project Type: Interior-Buildout
Square Footage: 4,500sf
Timeline: Four months
Completion Date: March, 2022
Client Vision
As a high-performing real estate group, The Nickley Group needed an office space that supported their fast-paced environment, while also providing a professional and welcoming space for clients. Their vision was clear: a modern, open-concept office that promotes teamwork and communication among their agents, while also including private offices and meeting rooms for client interactions. The space had to reflect the group’s brand—bright, energetic, and client-focused—while also being highly functional for day-to-day operations.
Design & Planning
Our team worked closely with The Nickley Group to translate their brand and operational needs into a functional, inspiring office environment. The design process prioritized:
Open-Concept Collaboration Areas: With a focus on teamwork and communication, the office design incorporated open workspaces that encourage interaction among agents while maintaining a clean and organized layout.
Private Offices & Meeting Rooms: While collaboration was key, private spaces for client meetings, calls, and individual work were essential. The design included glass-enclosed offices and meeting rooms to balance privacy with the open feel of the space.
Brand Reflection: The design was tailored to reflect The Nickley Group’s modern and energetic brand, with bold accent walls, sleek furnishings, and carefully selected finishes.
Functionality & Flow: Ensuring that the space was not only visually appealing but also supported day-to-day real estate operations, with ergonomic workstations, integrated technology, and storage solutions.
Construction Process
Transforming the office space required a full interior buildout, taking an existing shell and customizing it to The Nickley Group’s specific needs. Our construction process included:
Space Transformation: We started by configuring the floor plan to create an open yet organized layout, framing walls for private offices, and installing all necessary mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Modern Finishes & Furnishings: To achieve the modern look The Nickley Group desired, we installed high-end finishes, including polished concrete floors, bold feature walls with The Nickley Group’s branding, and sleek furniture that combined comfort with style.
Custom Glass-Enclosed Offices: We built private offices and conference rooms with glass partitions, allowing natural light to flow through the space while maintaining areas for private client consultations and team meetings.
Integrated Technology: The office was designed with technology integration in mind, from built-in conference room screens to secure and efficient Wi-Fi networks, ensuring that agents could work seamlessly both in the office and on the go.
Key Features
Open Workspaces: The heart of the office is a collaborative workspace with modern desks, ergonomic chairs, and strategically placed breakout areas that foster communication and teamwork.
Private Offices & Conference Rooms: Glass-enclosed offices and conference rooms offer the perfect blend of openness and privacy, allowing agents to meet with clients in a professional, quiet environment while maintaining the bright, modern aesthetic.
Client Lounge Area: The office includes a welcoming client lounge area, complete with comfortable seating, a coffee bar, and bold branding elements, creating a relaxed yet professional atmosphere for client interactions.
Custom Branding & Design: The design reflects The Nickley Group’s brand identity through vibrant accent walls, a modern color palette, and strategically placed signage and artwork that represent their dynamic approach to real estate.
Technology Integration: With integrated screens in meeting rooms, secure internet access, and digital displays, the office is built to keep pace with the fast-moving real estate market.
Overcoming Challenges
One of the main challenges during this project was balancing the open-concept design with the need for privacy in certain areas. By incorporating glass-enclosed offices and flexible meeting spaces, we were able to maintain the flow of natural light and the open feel of the office while ensuring privacy when needed. Another challenge was coordinating the installation of high-tech features without disrupting the aesthetic flow, which was achieved through careful planning and collaboration with technology specialists.
Outcome
The final product is a sleek, modern office that perfectly aligns with The Nickley Group’s brand and operational needs. The open layout fosters collaboration and communication among agents, while private offices and conference rooms provide the necessary privacy for client meetings. The space is not only visually stunning but also highly functional, equipped with the latest technology to support the fast-paced nature of real estate work.
Client Testimonial
My husband and I decided to take a huge leap of faith this year and renovate the Cameo building located in Downtown Orlando. We had really big ideas, but the office space was a literal shell with nothing in that used to be an old movie theatre so the thought of building out a work space was really intimidating. Bennet was recommended to us by a commercial Realtor we know and trust. To be honest, we had someone else recommend a contractor that does a lot of business in the downtown area so we talked to Bennet and the other company and I am soooo extremely thankful we chose Bennet and his team. Bennet is the most professional contractor I have ever met and the most important thing is he gets things done in a timely manner, within budget, and done the right way the FIRST time. He is extremely meticulous and never ever came to us with any surprises or problems. In fact, we ended up coming in under budget and we got everything we were expecting and more. The best thing about Bennet is you feel like you can completely trust him and he has your back. He is going to tell you if he thinks something is going to look weird or wrong and give you suggestions to help make your vision become a reality. Every single person that walks in our office is blown away, and we can barely get our agents and staff to go home at night because they just love being in the office. I would HIGHLY recommend using Bennet and his team. I am a Realtor myself and will be referring him to everyone I know. Thank you Bennet!
