Offices remain an anchor amidst tough times in tech
Global occupier markets have been adapting to the changing ways that people live and work. The tech industry is no exception; in fact, many companies in the sector saw rapid growth in their funding and headcounts, but some have now experienced a drop-off in both. Like other industries, tech has also been affected by hybrid working trends, with some companies relocating, right-sizing, downsizing, or eliminating their office footprints altogether.
Some are consolidating into smaller but higher quality, green-certified space, which is in high demand. However, suitable green-certified spaces are more difficult to find in many markets, especially in the face of increasing levels of demand. The search for ESG-compliant spaces remains part of a broader, global trend of a flight to quality among office occupiers.
