The second initiative will allow owners to create new revenue streams by operating flexible workspace centers within their portfolio. If those tenants choose to add to their flex space, Cushman & Wakefield’s leasing and project management teams will be able to assist the tenants in finding a traditional office lease, within the same building. Corporate occupiers have also been very focused on managing the employee experience as workers return to the office. While Cushman & Wakefield has served the tech industry for years, where facilities management has regularly been positioned as a critical link to managing employee engagement, the new partnership with WeWork now creates similar opportunities with Fortune 500 occupiers across all sectors.
