The American workplace has experienced more rapid, dramatic shifts in 2020 than it ever has before. But the real impact of COVID-19 on how millions of people work—and how they plug into a modern office—is still developing, say architects and real estate professionals who are not only navigating vast changes in their own businesses but also helping their forward-thinking clients plan for a post-pandemic world. The vast remote working experiment of 2020 has created new flows of information and conversation among employees.

BOMA International, Yardi and Brightline Strategies announced today the release of key findings from the first in a series of nationwide commercial real estate COVID-19 impact studies. Commissioned by BOMA International, the study was underwritten by a grant from Yardi, a global real estate software company, and developed by Brightline Strategies, a leading real estate research and advisory services firm.
