12:00 PM – 12:40 PM: Exploring the Relationship Between Tenants, Brokers and Owners

The hybrid working era has demanded that both employers and real estate developers and operators reimagine the workplace and how the office can enhance employee engagement and productivity. So what do tenants actually care about today? Hear directly from leading corporate occupiers, landlords and brokers on the most heavily utilized amenities and property features that are converting to new or renewed leases, and the trends defining the future of the workplace while boosting employee productivity and excitement for in-office collaboration.

The future looks bright for the office leasing market, and as the needs of tenants continues to evolve in
the current market conditions, owners and brokers have had to change the way they approach
collaboration with potential occupiers. The market has seen financial service firms, law firms and
hospitals taking large amounts of space and repurposing it for their specific needs. What role does the
broker play in facilitating mutually beneficial agreements that meets the needs of both the tenant and
the landlord? What structural improvements including HVAC combined with technology are being used
to transform buildings and make them more sustainable? What amenities can owners consider to make
vacant space more attractive to tenants in specific sectors?
