Abstract
Is corporate real estate (CRE) dead? Not at all. This paper shows that while how people use space, why they want an office and what is needed in the workplace has changed, the office itself remains fundamental to businesses across the globe. Indeed, as Unispace EMEA saw in its `Returning for Good’ study, 75 per cent of organisations have increased their office footprint in the last two years to keep up with the demand from employees and to create or enhance hospitality spaces, with a further 74 per cent planning to do so by 2025. This paper demonstrates why the office is here to stay, and will be the success factor behind workplace returns, increasing employee loyalty and attracting new talent.
