Today, we're going to unpack the future of Charlotte's office market with Brett Gray, the managing principal for Cushman & Wakefield’s Charlotte office.
There are a lot of questions these days about the future of work, remote work, hybrid work, office layouts, companies’ office needs. And the big news recently has been health insurance giant Centene’s announcement that it won't be establishing its East Coast headquarters in University City in Charlotte — even though they've almost completed construction on 800,000 square feet of office on 130 acres.
We break that down with Brett in an insightful 15-minute conversation that covers:
What does the Centene news say about the larger market for office in Charlotte?
What companies are saying about their needs for office space.
What metrics analysts examine to determine the health of an office market.
What are some of the differences in Charlotte sub-markets like South End, SouthPark, University City and Ballantyne?
Will there be more office towers anytime soon?
Check out the conversation.
