Trends in Reducing Office Footprints and Challenges in Repositioning Buildings

The growing performance gap between new buildings with a high sustainability and experience offering, and ageing offices, is both the biggest opportunity and the biggest problem facing real estate investors right now.

Some buildings located outside main cities are increasingly being overlooked by companies trying to attract workers into central offices and are worth more if sold empty.

Meanwhile, well-located offices with great amenities are massively outperforming.
