The future of office space in the era of hybrid working: Navigating the new norm

An overarching theme from the latest RICS Global Commercial Property Monitor is the continuing polarisation of office real estate between best in class and the rest. With hybrid working redefining work patterns and an increasing focus on employee wellbeing and sustainability, is the traditional office environment losing its appeal? Hybrid working presents challenges and opportunities for investors, landlords, and occupiers alike. This shift is more than just about redesigning physical spaces; it represents a complex mix of investment decisions, changing work cultures and evolving tenant expectations. Join us and our expert panel as we discuss the impact on commercial real estate values, tenant demands, and the strategic adjustments required by landlords and investors.
