With the democratisation of teleworking, office property has entered a new era, marked by a race for quality at the expense of volume. That, at least, is the view of Mathieu Lalou of Spliit. For organisations, ‘it’s not just a question of finding something a little smaller, but above all of finding an office in a better location’, he explains. This trend is reflected in a significant fall in the number of square metres placed, particularly in the Paris region. As a result, property companies are being forced to adapt by marketing service assets in well-located buildings, often in city centres, that act as company hotels and meet tenants’ new expectations.
