It’s no surprise that square feet per office employee is declining. The open office concept is changing the world and the biggest user of office space in this cycle is…..Tech companies. But this trend has been coming for a long time; see the graph below.
In addition to the SF per employee graph there are two others below that are very interesting. Class A properties lease sizes are steady but B and C properties are declining. Finally, which industries are shrinking their leases? The answer: Accounting, Insurance and Law firms.
Is this true for your office? I want to hear about it. Give me a call.
