2022: Market Forecast with Shane Connell

As we move into 2022, companies will continue to explore workplace solutions that help entice employees to return to the office.  With employees across the state and nation now accustomed to working remotely, many are hesitant to return to traditional office settings. However, studies are showing that the remote workforce is longing for social interaction post-pandemic.  As the office sector continues to be shaped by employees’ evolving preferences, workspaces should be designed to not only inspire the creation of great work. but also connection, creativity, and energy.  Properties that provide these opportunities for collaboration and social interaction beyond the office will be well-positioned for success. At The Park, we recently opened Round Table Studios, an elevated co-working space and social club that was fully leased within four months of opening.  In 2022, expect to see more New Jersey commercial real estate owners add co-working uses and amenities to their buildings to help companies entice employees back into the office.
