Look To Hospitality For The Future Of Commercial Real Estate And In-Office Work

When you walk into the 30,000-square-foot space that constitutes Rockbridge’s new headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, there’s a good chance you won’t realize you’re in a private hospitality investment firm.

The entrance resembles a high-end restaurant or hotel, designed to be a beacon of the company’s culture. High ceilings, dim lighting, potted botanicals lining the entrance and a neon “Welcome to Rockbridge” sign set the tone for the rest of the space. Other areas, including one with a brick fireplace donning inserts for freshly cut wood, bookcases and barrel chairs arranged in a circle perfect for spurring conversation all seem to say, “this is your space.” It’s built for collaboration.
