Technology and its dynamic role for the office market
El Economista | June 14, 2022 |

The international office market faces the challenge of occupying the available spaces in a context of changes to traditional forms of work that have emerged from Covid-19.

Faced with a scenario of greater remote work schemes, specialists agreed that it will be through technology that offices reduce their vacancies.

How? According to Carlos Waech, founder of the startup Uroff, in the short term there are no indicators that show a prompt recovery of occupations in offices, especially if the rental schemes do not change.

In addition, according to the trends of the younger generations of workers, it is necessary for employers to offer hybrid models, which do not force them to occupy a full-time office.

"Maintaining the old form will continue to increase vacancy, the new form is that the same office houses five, seven, ten companies, which use it for certain spaces, defined times, even with a higher rent," Waech pointed out.

Therefore, for the specialist, it will be flexible real estate contracts and spaces, which offer specific needs to users, who need from a desk and a chair, to complete conditioned apartments.

Thus, through technology and digital tools, it will be easier for the owners and administrators of the spaces to segment a greater number of different tenants that they serve.

For the representative of the Uroff platform, in order to reduce the vacancy of empty office spaces, an alternative is for developers to make their offer available in rental models per day, hours and even for a single office, through platforms that make the process as simple as renting a house for a couple of days.

Thus, the manager pointed out that the workers want adequate work spaces, but under their own conditions and needs.

Tenants will not only look for locations and quality of assets when choosing a building, but will also be evaluated from the ease of procedures, of closing agreements and even the amenities offered by the property.
