Jason Price, New Jersey research director, Cushman & Wakefield EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ— Cushman & Wakefield's Space Matters. Cushman & Wakefield's Jason Price Space Matters

  • Office density: Occupiers have been allocating less square footage per employee, but that trend is starting to slow down as businesses grapple with the right balance of personal, private, communal, and break space.
  • Amenities: Common amenities—such as fitness centers and cost-effective food options—still remain very important. However, there is large opportunity for growth in how technology amenities are leveraged by occupiers and landlords.
  • Parking: In many urban sub-markets parking supply is a challenge. Prices have been increasing, and occupiers are looking at creative options to meet the challenge. Also looming in the future is what impact autonomous vehicles may have on parking demand.
  • Concessions: Free rent and tenant improvement allowances increased over the past year, but gains were driven by gateway markets in 2017. This trend will spread, and some secondary markets will soften as absorption slows down and/or new supply comes online.
