Trends in Commercial Real Estate: Repositioning Strategies
From prebuilt office spaces to reimagined amenity offerings, commercial building owners and landlords in major metropolitan markets across the United States are exploring a host of different strategies for encouraging leasing activity. Determining what upgrades are deal-breaker requirements, which solutions will perform best in the market, and how they align with desired tenant groups remains a significant challenge. Rather than gambling on getting lucky with the experimentation process, owners and landlords can learn a lot from circa-2018 building repositioning practices.
Trends in Office Real Estate: Shared Amenities
In today’s office real estate market, flight to quality has created a race for landlords seeking to attract tenants and fill vacancies. While some tools are economic, like rent incentives, others are more concrete, including the development of shared amenity spaces. In major metropolitan markets such as New York, having an amenity offering is now a deal-breaking requirement, rather than just nice to have. But what do these spaces look like, and how can landlords be sure they're including the right ones?     
The Future of Prebuilt Office Spaces
Driven by changes in the business environment and the demands of modern corporate tenants, prebuilt office spaces have transformed from underused "leftover" spaces into an integral part of commercial leasing strategies. These modern, ready-to-move-in spaces are designed to meet the evolving expectations of both building owners and corporate tenants, offering flexibility, aesthetic appeal and functional elements that reflect current office trends.
