Office leasing fundamentals are pivoting as new construction deliveries begin to outpace leasing demand. Tenant improvement (TI) allowances spiked as landlords of both new and existing assets compete for tenants. The future of work and workplace continues to evolve in response to a dynamic workforce and changing needs.

All of these trends underline the fact that being an educated occupier in today's environment is pertinent to long-term success and an effective real estate strategy.
