Interacting with colleagues, client meetings, commute to work, nothing will be the same in the near future. Remote working will has become be the new normal. With more people working from home, the need for real estate will decrease.

“As employees have been working from home to contain the spread of COVID 19, many organisations have invested heavily in workplace collaborations platforms to keep the business running smoothly.
