The pandemic has wreaked havoc on the business world for over a year. With lockdowns and tiers, came restrictions on office working. Once sprawling, energetic venues transformed into ghost towns practically overnight. So what next for the commercial property sector? We’ve teamed up with Interaction for a special panel debate to discuss.

This live debate will put the microscope on what the future holds for the commercial property sector. Will many offices and retail units disappear or be repurposed as some suggest, or will real-estate obligations – and the gathering momentum with the Covid-19 vaccine – preserve the skyline of our cities and towns.

A panel of leading industry commentators that operate in the property space will debate this and much more, including:

• What next for multi-use ex-retail commercial real estate?
• Mixed used developments and future for retail
• Sustainability and building with community and wellbeing in mind
• Inward investment to build commercial office space and a look at investment models
• What next for flexible office space providers
• Future Cities and how will they look?
• Trends in the commercial property market
• Commercial office fit-out – what do businesses need?
