The Future of Workplaces
May 13th
Gone are the days of cubicles and rows of offices. The future workplace is changing.
On Monday, May 2, a panel of four young leaders in corporate real estate, all under the age of 35, discussed the future workplace at the CoreNet Global Summit in Chicago. From the discussion it was clear that the future workplace will typify a collaborative layout, green features that benefit the environment and employees, a seamless integration of information technology, and options for where to spend the workday.
Movement towards this future workplace is already present in some local and regional offices. Employers such as Google, TD Ameritrade and Bailey Lauerman have gone away from cubicles to open environments to allow for more collaboration and flexibity. Ample light and clean air are important in designing interior space. And aspects such as outdoor areas for company barbeques or a quick game of basketball are increasingly included in space planning.
Its evident that employees and employers can benefit from embracing the above future workplace aspects into their office designs.

The white paper analyzes the impact that inflation will have on commercial real estate, forecasts the direction of interest rates and provides investment and financing strategies for property owners seeking to shield themselves from inflation’s destructive power.
