Brighton Market
Pointknown documented Brighton Market, a large active commercial property at the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and Brighton Avenue in Boston, Massachusetts. Spanning more than 100,000 square feet, the project included market spaces, food court areas, mezzanine levels, rooftop conditions, and surrounding site context. The goal was to create a comprehensive existing-conditions dataset that would support ownership, leasing analysis, future renovations, and redevelopment planning.
Built for active commercial properties.
Delivered ready for the next phase.
Brighton Market required a coordinated documentation effort across more than 100,000 square feet of active commercial space. Pointknown captured market areas, food court spaces, mezzanine levels, rooftop conditions, and surrounding site context using Mobile LiDAR, RTK drone capture, and 360° visual documentation—creating a complete digital record without interrupting daily operations.
The resulting documentation package combined a coordinated Revit model, CAD plans, reflected ceiling plans, roof documentation, space calculations, and visual references into a reliable foundation for ownership, leasing analysis, future renovations, and redevelopment planning. Every deliverable was organized to help project teams understand existing conditions and move forward with confidence.
Understand the entire property before design begins
Drone imagery provides a complete view of Brighton Market's buildings, parking areas, roof conditions, surrounding streets, and site relationships—giving owners and design teams the context they need alongside detailed existing conditions documentation.
A coordinated workflow for complex commercial properties
Brighton Market was documented using multiple capture technologies and translated into coordinated digital deliverables that support renovation planning, leasing decisions, facility management, and future redevelopment.
Capture
Mobile LiDAR, RTK drone mapping, and 360° documentation recorded the market's interior spaces, roof conditions, site layout, and surrounding property while normal business operations continued.
Translate
Field data was converted into coordinated Revit models, CAD floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, roof documentation, and space calculations that accurately represent existing conditions.
Deliver
The completed documentation package gives owners, architects, and consultants reliable information for planning renovations, evaluating tenant spaces, coordinating future work, and making informed decisions with confidence.
Existing conditions documented across an active commercial property
Brighton Market required coordinated documentation of occupied retail spaces, building geometry, and site conditions. The resulting deliverables provide owners, architects, and consultants with accurate information for renovation planning, tenant coordination, facility management, and future redevelopment.
A coordinated digital foundation
The existing conditions Revit model accurately represents the market's geometry, providing a reliable starting point for renovations, tenant improvements, and future redevelopment.
Understand the property before stepping on site
Rendered views help owners and design teams quickly understand building form, entrances, roof relationships, and the overall commercial property.
Exterior geometry documented
Measured elevations capture the existing façade, building proportions, and architectural features for renovation and design coordination.
Existing layouts made clear
Detailed floor plans organize tenant spaces, circulation, and building geometry into documentation the project team can immediately use.
Measured areas for planning
Food court and common area calculations provide accurate square footage for leasing analysis, facility planning, and future improvements.
See how the building works
Section views reveal floor-to-floor relationships, structural organization, and vertical building geometry that support renovation and coordination decisions.
Turning an active commercial property into usable project information
Brighton Market required more than a visual record. The documentation package organized existing building conditions, interior layouts, roof information, and spatial data into resources that support renovation planning, tenant coordination, and future decision-making.
Documentation that supports decisions beyond the first site visit.
The completed existing-conditions package gives owners, architects, and consultants a reliable digital record of the property. By combining measured building data with coordinated drawings and calculations, teams can evaluate opportunities faster and move forward with greater confidence.
Everything needed to understand and plan the property
The Brighton Market documentation package combines measured building information, technical drawings, spatial data, and visual references into one coordinated record. Each deliverable gives owners, architects, and consultants the information needed to evaluate existing conditions and plan future improvements with confidence.
Revit Existing Conditions Model
A coordinated digital model capturing the building geometry, interior relationships, and existing conditions to support renovation planning and design coordination.
CAD Documentation Set
Measured floor plans, elevations, sections, and roof documentation organized into technical drawings that support project development.
Space Calculations
Food court and common area calculations provide accurate spatial information for planning, leasing discussions, and future improvements.
Drone Documentation
Aerial imagery captures the building footprint, roof conditions, surrounding site context, and overall relationship within the urban environment.
360° Existing Conditions Review
Immersive documentation provides additional visibility into interior spaces, helping teams review conditions remotely and reduce unnecessary site visits.
Experience shows up in the handoff
The best documentation teams do not simply collect data. They know what matters, what to ignore, what to model, what to share, and how to package it so the next team can work.
We scope for the decision ahead
Each capture effort is shaped around what the client, architect, consultants, and builder need to understand next.
We know the deliverable ecosystem
Revit, CAD, SketchUp, PDF, drone media, 360 photography, and shared file structures all play different roles.
We make complex properties easier to communicate
The goal is not to show every piece of data. The goal is to make the right information accessible, clear, and usable.
If you are planning, renovating, leasing, or evaluating a building, clear existing conditions matter.
Pointknown helps design teams and property stakeholders move forward with confidence by turning existing buildings into usable, decision-ready information.
