The tech industry isn’t just powering innovation - it’s reshaping commercial real estate. Tech tenants are now among the fastest-growing, highest-value occupiers in office markets worldwide. But what they expect from a workspace looks very different from the traditional playbook.
Whether you’re a landlord, broker, or asset manager, understanding what tech-driven companies truly want (and need) can be the key to winning - and keeping - them as tenants. Here’s what’s driving their decisions in 2025 and beyond, and how you can adapt your spaces to attract and retain them.
