Property manager & advisor Newsec and architectural firm KHR Architecture have entered into a strategic partnership. The partnership has been established to meet an increasing demand for transformation of existing properties, strong professional synergies and the need for more coherent advice across the property value chain.
More property owners and investors today face complex decisions where architectural, functional and commercial considerations must be closely integrated. With this partnership, Newsec and KHR Architecture aim to offer a more integrated approach where strategy, design, utilisation, ESG and operations are linked earlier and more consistently in the development process.
Holistic advisory
The collaboration builds on complementary strengths. Newsec contributes deep insight into property operations, space management, design, ESG and strategic advice, while KHR Architecture provides architectural and developer advice with a special focus on user-centred architecture and transformation.
”We work daily with property owners and investors who need to develop their properties more intelligently and with an eye for users, operations and long-term value. The partnership with KHR Architecture allows us to bring together several disciplines into one coherent consultancy. This will help customers make even better decisions about the development of their properties,” says Julie Rømsing, CEO of Newsec.
Newsec realises that customers are increasingly demanding advice that goes beyond individual services. The combination of design, space planning, operations, data and strategic overview is crucial when existing buildings need to be rethought and utilised in new ways. Here, the partnership provides the opportunity to work more holistically from the early analyses to the final realisation by involving architectural and building owner consultancy from KHR Architecture.
ESG requirements demand closer interaction in projects
Professional clients are increasingly focussing on ESG requirements and sustainability. Newsec's specialists provide insight into regulation, reporting and concrete measures that can be integrated into both design and transformation projects, while KHR's architects can design and visualise solutions for clients.
”The collaboration with Newsec is very much about meeting our customers” increasing demand for ESG, space planning and interior design as an integrated part of our client and architectural consultancy. The partnership gives us access to specialised knowledge that strengthens our advice throughout the entire project process," says Lars Kragh, CEO of KHR Architecture.
The partnership is already underway on a major project that cannot yet be announced, and more transformation projects are in the pipeline.
