Office real estate: how to optimise your post-covid working environment?
In a context of unprecedented economic and health crisis that has led to the massive and uninhibited adoption of teleworking, the role, uses and sizing of headquarters premises are at the heart of management teams' reflections. At a time when employees are still timidly returning to the office, and working methods are being reexamined, a growing number of companies are looking to optimise their real estate costs - the second largest item of expenditure after salaries - by acting on both the surface areas occupied and their rental costs, charges, rent, etc.
The office property market is now entering a new cycle characterised by a sharp fall in take-up, an increase in available supply and consequently a change in the balance of power between lessees and lessors. The context offers real negotiation opportunities to be seized.
