If current dialogue holds true though, tech (and office type) companies are going to *need* far less real estate (adopting more flexible and WFH solutions).
How do you think Google now feels about this project? Who's the developer and actual building owner...Google? Or just the entity leasing? Will Google now look to share if their Kitchener office-based workforce is not going to be as big?
Thing is, I don't think the current dialogue will hold true for long. At some point, businesses are going to see that people need to be at the workplace, and that working from home is simply an option when needed. It is needed now. But a year from now, I do expect, if we have a decent recovery, that might will be back in the workplace.
