It’s 3 o’clock at the office. You are working on a very important presentation that is due in one hour. You are trying to concentrate. Next to your desk, a co-worker is on the phone talking to a client. Right across from you, two members of your team are collaborating on a project. It is New York City, traffic is congested and you can hear the horns and sirens outside.
It’s doubtless, today’s office is a site of constant change and reinvention. With an estimated 70% of U.S. offices utilizing open workspaces, the most logical question for us to ask ourselves is: how can we make it better?

The New York City real estate market is known throughout the world to be treacherous. Landlords in our town are a rare breed and you must be well represented. Your two key trusted advisors are your Real Estate Broker and your Attorney. It’s best to begin working with your Real Estate broker 24 months prior to your anticipated move date. Your broker should be intimately familiar with your company’s space needs, business growth objectives and your budget, and should have experience with companies of your size and the locations in which you are interested. Fortunately, the cost to pay the broker is completely paid by the landlord.
