October 8, 2020 | Jon Banister | Bisnow, Washington, D.C.
Technology companies across the country expect to need less office space in the coming years, a sign of falling demand in the commercial real estate market.
Tenant representation firm Savills released a survey Thursday of 250 technology companies that found 82% anticipate needing less office space over the next 12 to 18 months, and 55% plan to dispose of existing space over that time period.
This disposal of space is already happening in a big way, with a wave of sublease listings hitting the market, Savills Executive Managing Director Zev Holzman said.
