FACC-NY Webinar: Managing Rent Relief Through COVID-19

DISCUSSION

The notoriously competitive rental landscape in New York City commands premiums from business tenants who now find themselves in contractual limbo. Unable to access their office space, with teams dispersed remotely, their overhead continues to grow as their budgets and profits hang in the balance.

Guest speakers Deborah van der Heyden and Paul Ferraro of JLL with Jason Aster of KBA Lease Services address the complexities of a post-COVID-19 world with a focus on the inevitable future workplace changes and how to best prepare for the eventual return to working in the office.
