Program
Opening Panel Discussion | 14:30 - 15:30
Creating the 2026-2027 Office Playbook
This session translates the macro outlook into an actionable office playbook: what occupiers now demand, what product will outperform, and what operational practices accelerate closures and protect renewals. It’s designed to be execution-led - how to build/retrofit, lease faster, and run assets so they remain defensible through 2026-2030.
Breakout Discussions | 16:00 - 17:00
Flex Done Right
Corporate Preferences and How Landlords Must Build & Re-Build
This breakout goes deep on flex as a core layer of CRE strategy - not a side product. The discussion will cover what models are scaling, how risk and capex are structured (managed vs leased vs JV), and what landlords must operationalise so flex income is credible and doesn’t dilute asset positioning.
