In New Jersey, specifically, that figure rises to 72 percent, among the highest in the nation. Based on two decades worth of construction experience in New Jersey and New York, CNY Group believes the two most likely outcomes for these structures involve upgrades to true Class A offices or conversion to life sciences facilities.

When employees began moving away from city centers, employers didn’t particularly follow them, but that trend could change.
