Demand surges for Class A buildings offering a distinctive experience.

As demand for high-quality buildings continues, developers can create new types of compelling tenant experiences using architectural expression, materials, and the embrace of public spaces.

 

Outside-the-office amenities and round-the-clock neighborhood vibrancy add value.

Tenants are increasingly looking at the street-level environment and neighborhood mix as part of their workplace amenities. Office developers will have a competitive advantage if they can orchestrate relationships with surrounding retail, restaurants, community spaces, and more.

 

Perpetual and flexible assets improve value over time.

The next generation of office buildings will be built to adapt to multiple uses, extending a building’s lifespan and reducing its embodied and operational carbon. A key feature of a perpetual asset is a flexible floorplate with uniform dimensions, good daylight reach, and a generous structural grid.
