An Authoritative Outlook on the State of the Office Market
After four straight years of market volatility and uncertainty, inklings of a market recovery are being enthusiastically welcomed across the real estate industry. While the dust hasn’t fully settled, 2024 has seen more transactions and renewed optimism for the office sector.
New York City is facing an office paradox. On one side, there is a shortage of Class A spaces that large tenants are racing to lease at premium rates, and on the other hand, aging office buildings aren’t faring quite as well.
You don’t want to miss the real estate industry’s must-attend office outlook as the city’s largest commercial owners, tenants and innovators convene to share where office stands as we close out 2024, what success for trophy assets means for the sector as a whole, and workplace strategies that are sparking renewed excitement tenants and their talent.
Agenda
The Office Outlook: Where Corporate Real Estate Stands Today |
The Race to Class A: How the Flight to Quality is Shifting the Tide in NYC Office |
Talking Talent: Priority Amenities & Workplace Features |
Tech, Sustainability & the Economic Drivers Influencing Office Plans |
Office to Multifamily Conversions: Wishful Thinking, or The Sector’s Silver Lining |
