The Impact of COVID-19 on Office Work and Real Estate

The COVID-19 pandemic has radically reshaped people's understanding and expectations of office work. This is likely to have a lasting impact on economic geography and the cost of real estate. The shift towards remote work is expected to continue even after the pandemic, which may result in downsizing of office spaces. Large office buildings might struggle to find tenants, potentially leading to an economic collapse in the real estate market. However, the long-term effects are uncertain and will depend on various factors such as leverage, investor strategies, and the presence of companies like WeWork.
