New Normal Will See Shift In How Commercial Real Estate Is Done

By Aron Solomon
May 01, 2021

Even before the global pandemic landed on our shores 12 months ago, the business model for commercial office space was already seeing deep fissures. While there was a high demand for spaces for companies and teams to work together as we moved through 2019, less of this than one would imagine was for traditional office space.

As to the nature of office leasing demand itself, it has decreased close to 70% from December 2019 to February 2020. It would be naïve to believe that even a majority of that demand will return when workers across the United States return to some form of a new, more permanent normal.

Those who are betting on us all returning to the old way we worked deeply misunderstand how the power is beginning to shift between workers and employers. When it comes to how and where employees work, the current dynamic tension between employers and employees needs to find some kind of equilibrium. Ultimately, but not right away, we are going to find a situation that works better for the majority of employees as well as for the majority of employers.
