Commercial real estate firm CBRE has revealed that it will be dialing back on expanding its flexible workspace brand Hana this year in the wake of the pandemic.

Companies have started opening their doors again, but in the case of another wave of the virus, they need a plan in place that keeps workers and the business safe.

Until there is a vaccine for the coronavirus, companies will have to adapt to sanitation and physical distancing guidelines as the way we work changes for good.

Although demand for flexible office usage has dropped over the past few months, office operators are finding new ways to support, engage and connect their members.

There is no denying that the future of the workplace will be defined by our current circumstances and a company’s ability to offer remote and flexible work arrangements.

As the economic downturn seemingly has no end in sight and millions of people are working from home, the future of the office and multifamily markets remains murky.
