MICHAEL WALKER
SPACELOGIK, LTD.

SpaceLogik helps tenants optimize their office and find new space without a broker, cutting real estate costs by 20% or more.

SpaceLogik’s proprietary building database, which is free to users, not only provides transparency on how much space each tenant needs, but how much space is needed from building-to-building. Their patented building ER (efficiency ratio) exposes buildings that are either incorrectly measured or inefficient by design, while adjusting space needed for efficiently designed properties. In addition to their building database, SpaceLogik’s programming and efficiency tools further reduce space by identifying optimal space usage for any office size or industry, including post-Covid workplace environments. These tools have proven savings of 15% and more at McDonald’s, Aon, Aetna, HP, Kirkland Ellis, United Healthcare, and Wells Fargo.
Other tools on the platform, like an instant construction specification/pricing tool and an automated request-for-proposal and bidding interface, allow tenants to find new space without traditional middlemen and reduce space acquisition times from one year to four months.
