Meeting's Overview
The UK office market continues to shine with sales at relatively optimistic pricing post COVID. However, with ESG, rising inflation and occupier work preferences changing, is the prime commercial office still the jewel in the crown for portfolios or are smart investors, owners, operators and developers rethinking their game to reposition office assets and unlock value?
