Inside the New Office Playbook: Designing for Today’s Tenants

Taylor Williams — Tue, 05 May 2026 11:58:00 +0000

With flexible work schedules now the norm, today’s modern office buildings must justify the commute. According to the Flex Index Q1 2026 report, a quarterly workplace trends report, 67 percent of U.S. companies now use a hybrid model. Gensler’s Global Workplace Survey 2026 also underscores a shift in employee priorities, with nearly half of employees (46 percent) noting that wellness amenities matter more than high-tech features in the office. To explore how these trends play out locally in leading commercial real estate markets, REBusinessOnline talked to Bill Baumgardner, who leads VanTrust’s Texas office as executive vice president and Guy Grivas, vice president of Hillwood’s retail division. Those priorities are on display at Frisco Station, where VanTrust, Hillwood and The Rudman Partnership are developing a 242-acre mixed-use destination in Frisco’s North Platinum Corridor, about 30 minutes north of Dallas. Centered around The Star, the Dallas Cowboys’ world headquarters, the development brings together Class A office space, a mix of residential options and modern hotels — all within walking distance of dining, shopping and entertainment options — creating a seamless, experience-driven workday.

We hear this question a lot: “How is commercial real estate doing in Birmingham?” Many people assume our market is experiencing the same volatility seen in national headlines over the past few years. The reality is a bit different. Birmingham is actually a stable market. While we certainly feel broader economic shifts, our office sector has avoided many of the dramatic swings seen in larger metro areas and is gradually positioning itself for future growth. To set the stage, Birmingham’s office market consists of approximately 18.8 million square feet of multi-tenant inventory across five submarkets, four of which include Class A properties. Overall absorption for fourth-quarter 2025 totaled negative 35,336 square feet following a positive third quarter. However, the market still finished the year with 56,786 square feet of positive net absorption. Occupancy remained largely stable throughout the year, with the overall vacancy rate holding at 19.8 percent. Direct vacancy improved slightly to 16.6 percent by year-end.
