Learn Why Smart, Flexible Spaces Are the New Standard in 2025 & Moving Forward
Across the Twin Cities and beyond, commercial tenant improvement (TI) projects are on the rise and for good reason. The tenants of today are no longer satisfied with four walls and a lease. They’re looking for modern, flexible, and tech-forward spaces that support how we live and work, not just now in 2025 but for decades to come. For developers and property managers, TI investments are a crucial consideration.

Whether you're outfitting a senior living facility, retail storefront, or office building, integrated systems deliver the performance and polish your tenants expect.
Let’s explore what’s fueling this TI surge and how we can help you meet it with confidence.

The Modern Tenant Has Permanently Changed
Tech-savvy, eco-conscious, and convenience-driven—renters and office tenants bring new expectations to the table. Millennial and Gen Z professionals want app-based access, keyless entry, and smart thermostats that make their spaces feel personalized and future-ready. Businesses want more streamlined conference rooms, environmental lighting, and remote management capabilities.
What used to be considered “luxury” tech, like surveillance cameras, access control, or integrated AV, has quickly shifted into the must-have column. The baseline has changed, and competitive properties are the ones adapting fastest.
Flexible Spaces Call for Flexible Solutions
Post-pandemic work models have permanently altered how space is used. Whether it’s a hybrid office environment or a multifamily amenity lounge, the demand is the same: adaptable layouts, intelligent automation, and seamless integration.
At In-Focus Systems, our TI solutions support evolving needs related to modular construction and multi-use areas. From automated window shades that respond to daylight to lighting that adjusts for time of day and occupancy, these connected systems enhance the tenant experience and simplify operations for property management teams.
Sustainability Is an Expectation, Not a Buzzword
Energy-efficient LED lighting, HVAC controls, and occupancy sensors are financially savvy, eco-friendly solutions in a competitive rental landscape. These sustainable upgrades reduce utility costs and signal long-term thinking to prospective tenants.
We design and integrate TI that balances performance with energy consciousness, so you can offer smarter building automation that meets both ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) goals and budgetary priorities.
