Commercial real estate owners, pay attention to this telecommuting/coworking trend.
A building is not a very liquid asset. There it is; it isn’t going anywhere. It’s only valuable if someone wants it.
Right now, most Americans have two spaces to spend their time in: their home and their office. When they’re in one place, the other place […]
I was on the phone with a vendor for my company once, sometime shortly after we had switched from an office to full-time telecommuting. It was early in the morning, and I was having a bit of a late start, so I was still in my pre-shower bath robe.
