Technological developments and a diversification of professional activities will have a considerable impact on the way work spaces are designed.

Interest in traditional offices decreased and companies focus on flexible office spaces, which may be easily adapted to their strategy and activity, Maria Florea, associate director at Colliers International Romania, said Thursday.

Companies cut rent expenses to increase their net profit and will apply flexible design solutions to reduce the occupied space.

Moreover, stimulating their employees and increasing productivity will be a priority for companies. The ability of developers and owners to offer a flexible and sustainable workplace that should meet various requirements – of both tenants and investors – will be the main condition for a successful real estate project, said the source.
