Commercial and Office Space Market Changes – Five-Plus Years Since the Pandemic
The commercial and office space market has changed dramatically since the COVID-19 pandemic. But what does the market look like now—and what does it mean for our communities?
Join us for a timely discussion on how changing work patterns, hybrid work, redevelopment, shifting tenant demands, and economic conditions are reshaping the commercial and office landscape.
Whether you are a planner, economic development professional, community leader, property owner, or simply interested in the future of commercial space, you will gain insights into where the market is headed and what communities should be watching.
