What You Need To Know

New York City’s office market is entering a pivotal phase, defined by valuation and pricing resets, selective capital deployment, new tenants and industries entering the market, and a widening gap in asset performance. As corporate tenants rethink the future of the workplace and what it means for their location and real estate strategies, investor strategies are shifting alongside them.

Commercial Observer’s State of Office Forum convenes the city’s most prominent real estate owners, developers, corporate tenants, and brokers to examine the demand signals driving today’s market, and how owners and investors are aligning with tenant demand to unleash growth potential. This is a must-attend event for real estate players looking to hear what’s penciling as tenant behavior dictates where capital will flow in the city’s next investment cycle.
