It's a tenant's market and lease options are attractive in existing buildings combined with not much corporate real estate activity as a result of the economy.

There are companies who will make professional recordings of TV appearances, which you can then repurpose on your website, blog, etc. Congrrats on the interview! Coy:

]]> Comment on The Slow Death of Office Space is Exaggerated by John Lind http://www.coydavidson.com/2010/07/08/the-slow-death-of-office-space-is-exaggerated/comment-page-1/#comment-1710 John Lind Tue, 13 Jul 2010 14:17:07 +0000 http://www.coydavidson.com/?p=4975#comment-1710 Coy, Before I take the role of Devil’s advocate and propose my contrarian view, let me just state, I agree with you that office space is still the future of the majority of corporations. But not for the reasons you presented. If we have learned anything from this past recession, it should be that all things are possible. “Too big to fail” or “based on past performance” should never enter into our vocabulary again. Do you think the rise of the service sector looked like a boon to the typewriter industry in 1980? No one is arguing that businesses that historically used office space are growing. What people are saying, however, is that office space is no longer mandatory. And by your numbers, 25% of workers proved them correct. (I assume when you started in the business this number was somewhere in the 0% range) I think this is a great opportunity for office specialists like you and me. We have the opportunity to help our clients turn their real estate asset into a platform for marketing, employee attraction and retention, and employee satisfaction, a cornerstone of corporate culture, a competitive advantage, and a place of meaningful work. Coy,

One more point worth mentioning is that, in recent years, common area factors have been inflated to become little more than additional profit opportunities for landlords. When that occurs, it has the impact on tenants of inflating actual occupancy costs. Keep up the great work! Andy Zezas, SIOR Real Estate Strategies Corporation - New Jersey Coy:
