We’ve all seen the headlines – quiet towns transformed into “Zoom towns” as remote work became the norm during the pandemic. This migration from the urban core to suburbs and smaller cities – where cost of living is lower and commutes are less of a factor – has had a tremendous impact on commercial real estate. But will this be the new normal, or will people move back to the major metropolises once we put the pandemic behind us? Experts will share their research and the demographic trends they’re seeing, then offer insights into how these trends are shaping the investment landscape and driving decisions in developing and investing in urban/suburban office spaces.

Speakers:
John Chang, Senior Vice President, National Director Research Services, Marcus & Millichap
Al Pontius, Senior Vice President, National Director, Office and Industrial Divisions, Marcus & Millichap
