Over the last few years, commercial real estate has gone through a metamorphosis of its own. The year 2019 marked a period of tremendous growth for the flexible workspace market. A report on the flexible workspace segment from CBRE suggests that the overall real estate stock saw a whopping increase of 60 percent from about 19 million sq. ft. to 30 million sq. ft. in the year 2019 where hybrid and managed offices dominated the overall space take up with an astounding 77% share.
From redefining conventional structures to accentuating the workspace experience with world-class interiors and a plethora of soft services; offices have now evolved into engines of productivity and employee motivation. Also, with flexibility & cash flow being the need of the hour, managed offices are turning out to be the solution for top corporates.
