Join us as we embark on a data-centric exploration of this year’s commercial real estate trends and developments. The CRE industry has encountered a myriad of challenges and transformations, particularly as a result of the widespread adoption of virtual work and the consequent shifts in migration patterns. Moreover, the implications of inflation have notably affected the retail sector, influencing the dynamics of the marketplace. By harnessing the power of location intelligence, we will pinpoint the main strategies underpinning success in the sector. We will spotlight which retailers are outpacing their competition, emerging areas of opportunity, and pivotal shifts set to leave a lasting imprint on the CRE world.
In addition, the webinar will take a deeper dive into the evolving nature of office spaces and the transition towards more flexible work-from-home models. With the aid of location analytics, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the contemporary CRE landscape. Our insights will not only shed light on present circumstances but also chart out potential trajectories for the future of commercial real estate and how you can leverage location analytics to give your business a competitive advantage.
