Representative projects include the 275,000 sf 650 From Road suburban office campus repositioning for Onyx Equities, 435,000+ sf of SPARC Group headquarters/showroom space, a 225,000 sf Fairfax Financial Group headquarters restoration, and complex land-use entitlement work such as the $12M Polyfil USA Rockaway expansion. Service offerings emphasize sustainable design (LEED-accredited staff), adaptive reuse, and Class A building repositioning.

Kimmerle generates revenue through project-based professional service fees negotiated per engagement, with multi-year contract cadence on larger assignments.
