As the return-to-office trend<\/a> continues its slow and steady march, with hybridization efforts in lockstep, many investors, landlords and tenants find themselves at a crossroads regarding leasing strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent Hubble survey<\/a> picked the brains of top New York City business leaders, including founders, C-level executives and decision makers, gauging their present office utilization philosophy and future workplace arrangement plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The questionnaire reached small- and mid-sized businesses, as well as startups, with more than 125 participants. This workplace ecosystem is highly relevant for New York City office space<\/a>, including coworking, as such companies fill in gaps in a market with high barriers to entry for long commitments. However, it can also be seen as a bellwether for less dense markets, considering the expansion of such models beyond coastal CBDs<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
