The Future of Office Work, Commercial Real Estate

What long term changes has the pandemic wrought on the commercial real estate industry, on office work, remote working and more?

NH Business Review explores the current state of commercial real estate in this interactive webinar. After a year of remote working — and a spike in e-commerce and warehousing requirements — amidst a pandemic, what’s happened to commercial real estate rates and demand? And in particular, what will demand for office space look like in the coming months? We explore the trends, including the drive some workers are feeling to be back at the office, from the perspective of a newly minted co-working space in Manchester.

Original air date: Thursday, May 6, 2021 at 11 a.m.
