Over the course of the last 18 months, through lockdowns and gradual office re-openings, office workers and leaders alike have experienced the dynamics of a hybrid workplace reality. The hybrid-remote “experiment” has provided a most unique opportunity for workers to explore and discover how and where they work best, and for building owners and operators to re-evaluate their portfolios to support new ways of working. There remains a clear value on in-person interactions and the physical workplace as a means to drive performance and innovation. Hear from Gensler Co-Chairman Joseph Brancato on how cities will morph into “20-minute” central business districts and office buildings will evolve to promote better employee experiences.
This is a NAIOP NYC members only event.
