The widespread adoption of hybrid schedules represents a paradigm shift in how offices are used. At a time when economies across the world are slowing amid the higher-for-longer environment, REITs backed by offices across the world have taken a hit. In the latest APREA Knowledge Brief, Christine Li, Head of Research APAC at Knight Frank, draws upon Knight Frank Cresa’s (Y)OUR SPACE survey for some critical insights that could guide the sector’s evolutionary blueprint. Key insights: 🎯 The office will still remain central to corporate culture. 🎯 The inability of landlords to offer flexibility has been indicated by 32% of respondents with an Asia-Pacific remit as the industry’s top peeve. 🎯 Asia-Pacific based occupiers will be more willing to expand the proportion of flexible or co-working spaces to become more responsive to changing workplace needs. 🎯 The long-term outlook for the region’s office assets continues to be positive relative to short-term headwinds. ➡️ Download the FREE publication here: https://lnkd.in/ghiUQNQq #APREA  #KnowledgeBrief #Office #REITs #Opportunities #RealAssets 

💥Insights from Shake It Up: The new playbook for office occupancy | The Weekly Take💥 Here are a few key takeaways from this week’s wide-ranging conversations with CBRE’s Global Head of Occupier Thought Leadership Julie Whelan—as well as several past Weekly Take guests—on the return to the office and the office’s long-term value. How some occupiers are enhancing their office and employee experience:   👉Flexibility: “One size does not fit all. You have to have standards, and we do. But you have to be flexible within those standards because people are working very differently than they worked in the past.” Jim Dobleske, Chair and CEO, Ford Land 👉Wellbeing: “It's all about trying to find that balance. You've got to basically find a way to find that place where you can reset, recalibrate and re-energize.” Carim Khouzami, President and CEO, Baltimore Gas & Electric 👉Workplace Design: “Our building now… is very open, lots of natural light. There are no offices. I do not have an office. Everybody is in cubicles because we really believe that that's part of our open and fun culture, for you to engage with people.” Lisa Ingram, President and CEO, White Castle 👉Culture: “Having the best workplace to go into isn’t going to mean anything if you don't have the culture that makes people want to be there.” Julie Whelan, Global Head of Occupier Thought Leadership, CBRE #OFFICE #OFFICEBROKER Dean Mariani

Key Points: 🔑 Employers must set standards for employees in-office attendance, but also realize that flexibility for hybrid work when needed goes a long way. 🔑 Workplace design is crucial to how employees engage with one another. 🔑 Employee well being is at the forefront of decision making. To attract and retain talent, employers are opting for amenitized buildings located in area that support the "live-work-shop" experience. #cbre #commercialRealestate #office #officebuildings
