Employers are focused on “increasing productivity” versus “decreasing cost”. Talent acquisition and retention are key drives to location and design. Suburban (“urban” infill markets) gaining favor with employees/employers. Affordable housing, main street retail, walkability, access to transportation. Hip, cool, open spaces…not just for start ups anymore. Tenants prefer a variety of open areas, private and semi-private areas.
