How will covid impact commercial space downtown? What is the future of commercial space? I personally prefer to work in office, but I’m sure organizations are starting to see how much $$ can be saved

Most of those leases for big offices are very long contracts... small-mid retail will be the black hole created by Covid as these businesses go bankrupt.

Every case I’ve had this year had some real estate component. Most large companies are drastically cutting office space in the next 36 months, some even before the leases are due (savings on other facilities costs make the switch worth it).

Happy to chat through DM, some of the new approaches to an office we’ve been exploring are super interesting.

To answer your question: I’m not bullish on commercial real estate in North America.

Would love to know more about the new approaches.

So as we were the first to get hit with COVID in NY, we are seeing declines in numbers now. Travelers are cut short of their contract, our hours are getting cut, and staffs are laid off.
