This explorer offers indicative, early-stage budget guidance to support planning conversations. It is not a quote, estimate, or commitment. Figures reflect design typologies and market benchmarks; they are not yet tailored to a specific design, base-building condition, or scope.
The next step is ours: Connected, in partnership with Perkins+Will, translates these benchmarks into a budget built around Reflection’s actual space and project at 225 Park Avenue South, grounded in a test-fit, real building conditions, and competitive pricing.
Methodology. Typology and quality structure are adapted from typical workplace design taxonomies. Dollar levels are benchmarks for the New York market, independently corroborated by the sources mentioned in the footer. The building-factors adjustment reflects Connected’s project-specific assessment.
