Bull points

  • suggests that we may be closer to a change in trajectory interest rate direction and employee back to office dynamics are moving in or are anticipated to move in a more favorable direction by many individuals and institutions we interact with and definitely is creating a more positive view of potential future momentum in the office property space.
