Over the past two years, the Intereum & MillerKnoll team has been committed to the overall vision, budget, and schedule of the Northstar Repositioning project. We are grateful to have close relationships with JLL and RSP locally in Minneapolis, which have entrusted us with the programming and high-level budgeting for this project.
Our portfolio of work includes great showcases of how we have implemented successful repositioning projects. Ultimately, these projects are complex. They require strenuous management of big and small details, vendor tracking and consolidation, and a methodology that ensures we stay on time and within budget.
We have priced the specifications provided and were thoughtful in ensuring our pricing matched the imagery within the package. We have also provided some cost-saving alternatives that were carefully considered within the MillerKnoll collective of brands.
We are committed to implementing this project and ensuring the furniture and service matches the truly one-of-a-kind environment our treasured Downtown area will experience. The invitation to experience the collective of brands is always available with a visit to our showroom.

Maximize Capital
Your monthly payments do not affect your established line of credit, cash reserves, or require a compensating deposit balance. You have more capital for your business.
Inflation Friendly
As costs go up over the term of your contract, you pay the same rate as when you began. That stretches your dollars and gives you more
access to the cash in your business.
Cash Flow Flexibility
Tailoring payment terms and structures to match unique needs, such as seasonality, expansion
plans, or revenue cycles, lets you get more out of your space and your budget.
