MADISON, NJ—The end users of office space, i.e. the people who work in an office environment day-to-day, have clear preferences about this space, according to a newly released survey conducted by Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates. Sixty-three percent of employed US adults believe that their office could better utilize its physical space, while 34% say improvements could be as simple as a better floorplan.

The survey was conducted for Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates by Harris Poll, and sounded out 2,000 adults including Younger Millennials (ages 18-29), Older Millennials (30-34), Gen Xers (ages 35-49) and Baby Boomers (50-69). As Fred Schmidt explains, the findings have strong implications for employers, leasing brokers and developers. The Coldwell Banker Commercial Affiliates president and COO spoke with GlobeSt.com in connection with the survey.
