Can upgrading a building envelope actually increase asset value instead of just fixing problems?

In this episode of All Things Facades Podcast, Scott Armstrong from Entuitive explores why re-cladding and re-glazing existing buildings should be viewed as strategic investments rather than simple capital repairs. Drawing from projects and market trends in Toronto, Scott explains how facade upgrades can help reposition aging buildings, improve tenant retention, and increase long-term asset value.

The conversation dives into the technical realities of retrofit work - from anchors and mullions to structural investigations that determine whether modern façade systems can be installed on existing buildings. Scott also discusses how envelope upgrades can support broader decarbonization strategies when paired with low-carbon HVAC systems.

From tower renewal projects to office repositioning, this episode highlights why some of the biggest opportunities for improving building performance may lie in the buildings that already exist.
