AT THE NEXUS OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY CHANGE

Commercial real estate unlike other industries has been slow to change. Owners have been able to operate their buildings very much the same for their customers since the 1960's - unheard of for other sectors. 

Enter the cloud, mobile computing and a shift in workplace flexibility. This introduction into the workflow for many businesses has cause a widening gap between the traditional rigid office space and what the new generation of workers are looking for in a work environment. While this shift has occurred we are also seeing the tenants look to reduce the square foot per employee. This shift has owners scrambling to fill more space than ever before and tenants looking for hybrid solutions.

There does not need to be an entire shift in the industry. Rigid lease structures are controlled by the lenders so occupiers face two options, warehousing space or hedging small. Owners and operators have not had alternative products that they can offer an expanding or contracting tenant within the constraints of their lending. And, this dynamic is ever increasing with our global economy shifting. 

A building that has multiple product offerings, services and amenities. AOR's model for owners and operators closes the widening gap for tenants. Their collaborative model looks at all facets of the business from processes, sales and leasing, operations, product mix and the financial structure that works within lending guidelines.
