A global real estate firm is expecting an office market that will heavily favor tenants within the upcoming three to five years due to excess space brought by the previous landlord driven market and the coronavirus pandemic.

Vestian, a full-service real estate firm focused on occupiers, said in this new era, there will need to be a focus on the total work plan that is outside the traditional office space market. Right now, businesses have around 30% to 50% more space than they need.
