The current state of the commercial real estate (CRE) office sector is characterised by significant challenges, particularly in the wake of shifting workplace dynamics and evolving tenant expectations. As organisations grapple with the implications of remote and hybrid work models, the demand for office space is being redefined, leading to increased vacancy rates and a re-evaluation of asset values.
Concurrently, the sector faces hurdles in data gathering and management, which are crucial for informed decision-making and strategic planning. Effective governance and risk management are paramount as firms strive to navigate compliance and regulatory landscapes while ensuring robust reporting mechanisms.
The complexity of transactions, reliance on third-party intermediaries, and the need for comprehensive due diligence further complicate the landscape.
