Three years into the pandemic, how and where we work continues to evolve. Nonprofits are still grappling with questions of how they will use office space, and when to make their next move. In October of 2020, Rick Lowe of Cresa Boston gave us a helpful overview of how our organizations could strategically manage real estate options. He and his colleagues are back to refresh our picture of a changing Boston market. They will touch on how different segments of the market are trending, how the pandemic is affecting downtown vs suburban markets, what to expect if you’re looking to sublet – or looking for a subletter, and what to bring to your next lease negotiation.
