September Members Lunch: Work Space Office Trends

  • September 21, 2017
  • 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
  • The Estate by Gene & Georgetti, 9421 W. Higgins, Rosemont, 60018

What will the office of the future look like and how will it affect commercial real estate?

Densification of space is not just for tech firms anymore. Commercial properties are seeing an increase in densification as law firms, accounting firms, insurance companies, and other traditional offices are aiming to get more people into less square footage. Buildings needs to offer updated amenities to accommodate densification in order to keep up with the competition.

With more and more people working in commercial buildings, property managers must think of creative ways to utilize their space to create building amenities that offer more options for tenants to work and collaborate inside and outside of their office. In addition, they must ensure flexible layouts, versatile furniture, and efficient planning to accommodate the growing needs of their tenants. 

Join us at the September Members Lunch to hear panel experts discuss work space office trends, including workplace findings and how furniture helps support the new work environment within the suite, lobby, lounge, and exterior spaces throughout your buildings.

Registration is now closed.
