About the book:
The first book in 20 years to provide an accessible insight into the significance of corporate real estate, at a time when the value and role of the physical/virtual office in a post COVID-19 world is in question.In the modern age of remote working and flexible work hours, why have most office spaces remained relatively unchanged for decades?
With the rise of agile working, hot-desking and new technological innovations, the traditional office space no longer serves the needs of the modern workforce. With a foreword from Mark Thompson, CEO of The New York Times, this fascinating book highlights the bold new solutions to workplace practices which have the potential to invigorate employee productivity while trimming excess costs.
In Where is My Office?, Chris Kane draws upon his extensive knowledge and experience in commercial property to investigate the new-found significance of innovative corporate real estate, using his ground-breaking ‘Smart Value’ formula. This formula is supported through in-depth case studies from Chris’s prestigious career, while interviews with prolific industry insiders such as Ronen Journo, SVP of WeWork and Mark Dixon, founder of Regus, provide fascinating insights into the ground-breaking strategies that are transforming the commercial property sector.
