Macquarie Group’s Andrew Burdick pulls the curtain back on the company’s newly reimagined Americas headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. Burdick and CBRE’s Lenny Beaudoin discuss how design, flexibility and sustainability can converge to create spaces that foster innovation, support company culture and drive long-term value.
