Space and location planning are becoming more strategic, putting business goals and projections, functionality and employee satisfaction among companies\u2019 top priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are five ways corporate real estate footprints and departments are shifting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-af9341ac899647927ba99f7e2e4834ae\" id=\"h-1-a-sharper-focus-on-the-business\" style=\"color:#00aeab\">1. A sharper focus on the business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>McKinsey partner Alex Wolkomir stresses that companies need to design space to reflect how the business operates, starting with what employees actually do with their square footage. Making the space fit the employees is replacing the old approach of employees fitting into whatever space they are given.<br>\u201cThere\u2019s an increasing emphasis on what I\u2019ll call the purpose of space,\u201d Wolkomir said. \u201cIn office in particular, companies need something that feels like it\u2019s adding value relative to working from home\u2014in creating the right collaboration, in giving folks tools they might not have otherwise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More specifically, corporate real estate planners of the post-pandemic, era of hybrid work are focusing on planned collaboration, such as project rooms for cross-functional teams, writable walls, pin-up space, large displays and easy screen sharing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Planners are also thinking about promoting unplanned collaboration through informal hubs near circulation paths; visual transparency (i.e., glass walls, sight lines) so employees can see activity; and mixed-use zones where different teams naturally overlap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spaces should also feel more like well-amenitized hotel meeting spaces and conference rooms than generic offices, Wolkomir said: \u201cWe\u2019re seeing a lot of discussion around this notion&nbsp;of \u2018how&nbsp;do you earn the commute\u2019 from folks.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7b2fedb766c592ee82136a07438c0c2d\" id=\"h-2-designing-for-uncertainty-and-versatility\" style=\"color:#00aeab\">2.

Planning horizons are three months, six months.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of Miscovich\u2019s clients knows that it will stay in its headquarters permanently, so it owns that property. The company\u2019s operational centers are owned or leased, depending on circumstances. Its smaller sales offices\u2014more startup-oriented sites\u2014are either under short-term leases or no leases at all using coworking or other flex space instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an ecosystem today that requires precision thinking and better analytics to keep up with the demands of Fortune 100 enterprise occupiers,\u201d Miscovich said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Owning vs. renting is a more important concern than ever considering the new normal of uncertainty, according to Ron Zappile, who leads Colliers\u2019 Portfolio Strategy Consulting line of business for Occupier Services in the Americas. The decision is almost always based on three variables: certainty about the location, the required space size and the magnitude of the financial obligation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe bigger priority is flexibility,\u201d Zappile said. \u201cOrganizations are looking for portfolio strategies that allow them to respond quickly to changing workforce patterns and market conditions. Whether an asset is owned or leased, occupiers are increasingly focused on ensuring their portfolios can evolve alongside the business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-a159a5ae6fbe26d0b2b1a29f43b9f533\" id=\"h-3-centralizing-control\" style=\"color:#00aeab\">3. Centralizing control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An important trend in corporate real estate involves centralization, according to a recent paper published in the Corporate Real Estate Journal, \u201cTransforming Corporate Real Estate from a Decentralized to Centralized model,\u201d by Zappile and Chris Zlocki, global head of enterprise client strategy and solutions, global occupier services, at Colliers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the paper, businesses with sizable real estate footprints, are increasingly recognizing that a decentralized real estate model can lead to inconsistent decision-making, fragmented data, duplicative costs and missed strategic opportunities. To remain competitive, companies are transitioning toward integrated platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-a67b6077c74f5460bfcf57eaed4e4f9b\" style=\"color:#00aeab;font-style:normal;font-weight:700\">There\u2019s a big emphasis increasingly on what I\u2019ll call the purpose of space.

But in general, some organizations may shift to fewer, more strategically located workplaces, edging toward greater centralization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLocation decisions are increasingly being guided by access to talent, skills availability and innovation ecosystems, rather than simply maintaining legacy footprints,\u201d&nbsp;Zappile said. \u201cThe result is often a network of strategically located hubs that support both business performance and workforce needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Centralization represents real-world savings, according to the report, which tracked a large company through a process that involved embedding a number of CRE practices: portfolio segmentation, key performance indicator alignment, demand and supply intelligence, lease flexibility and structured business reviews.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each of the mission-critical assets making up 80 percent of the company\u2019s footprint received a strategic assessment that set the company up to realize a 20 percent reduction in costs over the next five years from area and operating expense reductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0fccfd2181a32866c72b27f77ae138bb\" id=\"h-4-incorporating-ai\" style=\"color:#00aeab\">4. Incorporating AI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With AI still in its early stages, its use in corporate real estate comes with caveats. In CBRE\u2019s most recent Occupier Sentiment Survey, which tracks how companies are feeling about their portfolios,&nbsp;AI is the one place where survey respondents are still hedging, said Emma Buckland, CEO of CBRE\u2019s Enterprise business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNearly a third say it\u2019s too soon to know how it will affect their space planning,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re helping clients stay flexible and keep their options open while that picture clarifies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI holds promise for corporate real estate optimization, and across the industry there\u2019s significant experimentation underway\u2014in personal and team productivity, service delivery, data intelligence and how space itself is planned and managed, Buckland told CPE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe hard work is figuring out where AI creates the greatest return,\u201d she said. \u201cThat is, which use cases move the needle compared to those that are promising but not yet impactful at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At CBRE, Buckland notes, AI is already embedded across a number of functions, including portfolio analytics, facilities management, occupancy planning, investment analysis and document abstraction.<br>\u201cFacilities management is one area where the impact is already tangible,\u201d she said. \u201cAI is reducing maintenance alarm noise, so teams can focus on what actually matters, such as predicting equipment failures before they happen or giving clients real-time visibility into how their space is performing.\u201d<br>In the execution of facilities, companies are starting to use AI-powered software to do a lot of the coordination and scheduling work or to automate response\u2014and execute these functions much faster, Wolkomir said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can&nbsp;imagine a&nbsp;leak or a spill on, say, the third floor,\u201d Wolkomir said. \u201cSomeone submits the work order, someone has to respond, the space users&nbsp;have&nbsp;to call up the provider.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the leak is coming from a sink where there\u2019s a leak sensor and the sensor detects the leak before it becomes a flood, it automatically generates the work order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe system has the three invoices for plumbers who have worked at the building, and it schedules plumber B to come out ASAP,\u201d Wolkmir added. \u201cThat reaction starts to look fundamentally different.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0505812e96789ba489dfd3fe682e5807\" id=\"h-5-co-creation-of-space\" style=\"color:#00aeab\">5. Co-creation of space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than \u201cdelivering\u201d solutions to corporate clients, corporate real estate executives say they are increasingly asked to co-design occupancies with internal stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re arm-in-arm and you\u2019re doing this together,\u201d Zlocki said. \u201cI don\u2019t see it as creating a model for a client. I see us partnering to figure out the optimal model. They\u2019re as active a participant in this as we are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Customizing solutions for the business and the business unit also makes collaboration more urgent than ever. \u201cEvery company in every sector has a different way of doing business,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corporations and property owners are also viewing their relationship as more of a partnership these days. \u201cA lease these days is&nbsp;a closer, more continuous collaboration between the space user and the service provider, who co-shape how the space is activated and used over time,\u201d Wolkomir said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corporate real estate decisions used to be more formulaic. Typically, x number of employees needed y amount of space to do their jobs, and companies inked 10-year leases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background\" style=\"background-color:#16a19a33\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/mydigitalpublication.com\/publication\/?i=871347\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read the October 2026 issue of CPE.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid demands for flexibility and custom solutions, in-house generalists must become specialists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1023,"featured_media":1004813273,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21781,1521,51037],"tags":[32789,35498,32796,47621],"class_list":["post-1004813262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-corporate-real-estate","category-digital","category-trends","tag-cbre","tag-colliers","tag-jll","tag-mckinsey-co"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.0 (Yoast SEO v28.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Corporate Real Estate Charts a New Course - Commercial Property Executive<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/corporate-real-estate-charts-a-new-course\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Corporate Real Estate Charts a New Course\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Amid demands for flexibility and custom solutions, in-house generalists must become specialists.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/corporate-real-estate-charts-a-new-course\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Commercial Property Executive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CPExecutive\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-10-01T20:24:32+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-10-02T08:59:44+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2026\/09\/AdobeStock_2078250807_featured.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"900\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Dees Stribling\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@cpexecutive\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.commercialsearch.com\\\/news\\\/corporate-real-estate-charts-a-new-course\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.commercialsearch.com\\\/news\\\/corporate-real-estate-charts-a-new-course\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Dees Stribling\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.commercialsearch.com\\\/news\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/dc1e9fa4ee0430d86f8e60cd697c953c\"},\"headline\":\"Corporate Real Estate Charts a New Course\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-10-01T20:24:32+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-10-02T08:59:44+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.commercialsearch.com\\\/news\\\/corporate-real-estate-charts-a-new-course\\\/\"},\"wordCount\":1450,\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.commercialsearch.com\\\/news\\\/corporate-real-estate-charts-a-new-course\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.commercialsearch.com\\\/news\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/46\\\/2026\\\/09\\\/AdobeStock_2078250807_featured.jpg\",\"keywords\":[\"CBRE\",\"Colliers\",\"JLL\",\"McKinsey &amp;
