Workplace & Real Estate Advisory

Stonehill helps organizations reimagine how space can drive performance, culture, and connection. Today’s workplace is more than a location, it’s a strategic tool that supports how people work, interact, and thrive. Whether it's an office, a campus, or a hospitality-forward environment, we help our clients design spaces that are functional, flexible, and full of purpose.

Our services are built around three core areas: Real Estate Strategy & Design, Workplace Experience & Engagement, and Transformation, Tech & Delivery Support. Together, they offer a complete approach to planning, activating, and evolving high-performance environments.

Each engagement is tailored to meet the unique needs of your business and your people. From high-level strategy to hands-on delivery, Stonehill brings the insight, creativity, and structure needed to make your workplace a true advantage—not just a location.
