    Real Estate 2.0 - What does commercial office look like after the pandemic?
     

    Commercial office space was experiencing a slow change before the pandemic.  The introduction of flexible office space (coworking centers) was changing the way people thought about the ‘go to work’ experience.  People using a flexible office were experiencing the same level (or greater) of productivity with the added bonus of a better work life balance.

     

    The pandemic has forced millions of people to work from home, exposing many of them to an entirely new ‘go to work’ experience and an interesting thing happened - an overwhelming majority of those people love it – to some degree.

     

    The notion that commercial office space will return at some point  pre-pandemic model unchanged is under much debate. What is everyone saying about the future of work?
