THIS WEEK | Offices + Workspace
Learn about the outlook for regional offices from Patrizia, Stockport Council, Avision Young, Deloitte, Claremont, 5plus Architects and more at this half-day conference on Thursday.
Is the office dead? Pundits seem to be convinced that lockdown has killed the office sector as we know it. But are they right? And what does the rise of remote work mean for the future of the industry? We pierce through all the fearmongering and get to the heart of the matter, talking about what is actually being done, understanding tenant needs, and how landlords are taking this as an opportunity to futureproof their spaces.
