The National Bureau of Economic Research found that office values are likely to remain 39% below pre-pandemic levels. The cost to convert offices to an apartment building could cost about $400 or $500 per usable square foot, which in many cases costs more than building a new development. In 2016 and 2021, only 218 office spaces across the US were converted to other uses.
Today, we’re kicking off a special 3-part series answering your questions around the future of work. Peter Cappelli, the George W. Taylor professor of management at the Wharton School and author of “The Future of the Office,” joins Scott to discuss what HQ looks like in a post-pandemic world.
After our conversation with Professor Capelli, Scott gives advice on seeking opportunities to get to HQ in a remote working environment. He then discusses converting unused office space into residential buildings, and ends with his thoughts on the gig economy.
