Common Area Refresh for Multi-Tenant Buildings: A 14-Day Playbook
Jul 26, 2026 · By Site Administrator · 1 views

A 14-day playbook to refresh multi-tenant common areas—lobby, corridors, restrooms—without angering tenants or missing lease tours.
Common areas sell the building. A short, intense refresh can change tour feedback faster than a long remodel conversation.
14-day outline
- Days 1–2: walk + photo punch list
- Days 3–5: drywall and carpentry corrections
- Days 6–10: paint phases after hours
- Days 11–12: hardware and finish details
- Days 13–14: final walk + photo package
