Case Study: BlackRock transforms Sage Plaza’s tenant experience with PDR Design + Architecture

BlackRock transforms a 16,000 SF office ground plane with PDR

The customer, BlackRock, faced the challenge of overcoming "Dead Lobby Syndrome" in their Sage Plaza office building, a vast and underutilized space common in 1980s construction. They partnered with vendor PDR, who employed their design and architecture service, to transform the ground plane and improve the tenant experience, agility, and collaboration.

PDR's solution involved a complete redesign that capitalized on the building's unique geometry and warm textures. They repositioned the front desk for better visibility, added a new tenant lounge with a coffee bar, and opened up views to a tranquil courtyard. The vendor created a variety of distinct places for people to work, meet, and socialize, successfully fostering the existing tenant culture and enhancing the overall employee experience.
