As the popularity of remote work has increased, the question about the future of office occupancy, leasing, and values is being raised. VTS’s tool helps businesses monitor the extent to which employees return to the office. This is an essential indicator in the adoption of hybrid work strategies. “If you see a lease expiring in nine months and occupancy is down 30%, they’re probably not renewing and they’re certainly not expanding,” Nick Romito.
