The panel explores how current trends are shaping office space demand and corporate real estate
strategies heading into 2025, and how evolving work patterns and market forces are redefining
corporate priorities. Panelists will discuss the key factors driving the transformation of office spaces and
corporate real estate investments in today's business environment.
Executive Vice Chairman
Newmark
As companies adjust to the evolving demands of the modern workforce, the "race to Class A" is
reshaping the New York City office market. Tenants are increasingly prioritizing high-end, amenity-rich,
and sustainable office spaces, leading to a shift in demand from older, less adaptable buildings to
premium, well-located properties. This session will explore how this trend is impacting vacancy rates,
leasing strategies, and overall market dynamics in NYC, as well as what it means for the future of
corporate real estate in one of the world's most iconic cities.
As office vacancies rise and the demand for housing intensifies, office-to-multifamily conversions are
emerging as a potential solution for both markets. This session will examine whether these conversions
represent a solution for vacant or underperforming office properties. Industry experts will discuss the
financial, regulatory, and architectural challenges involved in transforming office spaces into residential
units, and whether this trend can provide a viable path forward for revitalizing underutilized office
buildings while addressing housing shortages in key urban markets.
In today’s competitive office market, tenants are placing greater emphasis on the quality and variety of workplace amenities that support employee well-being, collaboration, and productivity. This session will delve into the features that are now considered essential, from wellness spaces and advanced technology to flexible layouts and sustainability initiatives. Panelists will share insights into how these priorities are influencing leasing decisions and reshaping office environments, offering a clear picture of what tenants value most in their workplace experience.
As companies reevaluate their office strategies, technology, sustainability, and economic factors are
playing a pivotal role in shaping future office plans. This session will explore how advancements in smart
building technologies, increasing demand for sustainable design, and evolving economic conditions are
driving decisions about office layouts, locations, and investments. Panelists will discuss how these forces
are influencing corporate real estate strategies, guiding decisions on reducing carbon footprints,
enhancing energy efficiency, and optimizing spaces for both cost-effectiveness and employee
satisfaction.
