Trends in office space preferences continue to evolve, and these preferences are having an impact on office development in South Florida. Factors such as changes in work patterns, advancements in technology and shifts in corporate culture are all making their mark on how companies are approaching the physical workspace for their employees.

One trend that’s taking root is the shift away from big corporate office parks. Instead, corporations are favoring a move toward large-scale headquarters. Here are some other trends impacting this shift in the corporate environment.

• Distributed workforces – The move away from corporate parks has led some companies to develop more distributed office headquarters. This is in part due to a more distributed workforce. With more offices in different locations, it opens companies up to a broader pool of employees – and those who are happy to save on extensive commuting time or a relocation.

• The rise of remote and hybrid work arrangements – The increased demand for flexible work has led some companies to reassess their need for office parks. Some have even foregone headquarters altogether in favor of shared office spaces.

• An emphasis on amenities and experience – Employees are still attracted to functional workspaces that offer appealing amenities. When headquarters buildings offer features such as fitness centers, collaborative spaces and other components that enhance the overall employee experience, they’re more likely to retain quality employees. All of this can be achieved in a well-designed office renovation.
