Internet connectivity is the digital equivalent of a foundation for any multifamily property. Residents want access for communications, entertainment, business and personal needs. Property operators need connections for management and reporting software resources. Good and reliable connections to the Internet, and a dependable Wi-Fi network as a way of distributing that access, are essential. Looking three to five years into the future, these connectivity needs become even more demanding and complex. The Internet of Things (IoT) creates a layer of interesting application and use cases for property owners. IoT defines the collective network of connected technology that enables communication between devices (“things”) and the cloud and/or among the devices themselves. IoT devices are the technology that creates smart home and buildings. IoT devices also support and simplify functions such as rental property management, energy usage reduction, maintenance cost reduction and more. “Looking into the future, IoT applications can make the property more efficient in surprising ways,” says Eran Dor, vice president of technology products at Pavlov Media.

As companies scaled back operations and experienced slower growth, vacancy rates continued to increase. As of late, we are seeing many tenants in a wait-and-see mode when it comes to leasing decisions. This is despite a majority of companies desiring to have employees back in the office. Below are a few key trends and observations when it comes to the office market, as well as some green shoots where we see opportunities for an accelerated recovery. Return to the Office The slow return to office (RTO) largely comes down to overall economic conditions and who has the upper hand in the job market.
