The Future of the Office Real Estate Market
"Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful." — Warren Buffet
What is the future of the office real estate market? In recent years, even before the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. office real estate market had been subject to contraction for several reasons. Businesses implemented "open office" concepts such as hoteling and/or hot-desking, creating a "hub and spoke" model that was enhanced by hybrid or full-remote work. These concepts, along with the advancement of technology, and the growth of co-working facilities resulted in reducing office footprints, putting downward pressure on occupancy levels.
Then along came COVID-19. Office buildings that, before COVID, were fully leased and occupied on weekdays, suddenly were empty as workers were forced to work from home during the height of the pandemic. Though many businesses have reintegrated their workers' return to the physical office with full or partial week schedules, it appears that at least some form of hybrid work schedules — much more than existed pre-pandemic — are likely here to stay. How these increased trends may impact the office market and demands for office space in the foreseeable future remains to be seen, as other economic and market forces have created other pressures on office properties.

Legal Possession: What Does It Mean?
Possession of real property is a matter of physical fact. Having the right or legal entitlement to possession is not "possession," possession is "the fact of having or holding property in one's power." That power means having physical dominion and control over the property.
The Stranger to the Deed Rule
In 1987, a unanimous Court of Appeals reaffirmed the vitality of the "stranger to the deed" rule, which holds that if a grantor executes a deed to a grantee purporting to create an easement in a third party, the easement is invalid. Daniello v. Wagner, decided by the Second Department on November 29th, makes it clear that not all grantors (or their lawyers) have received the Court of Appeals' message, suggesting that the rule needs re-examination.
