Download The Presentation

Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) makes life easier for residents, but what does the future hold in the age of hybrids and remote work ? Is demand still there?
The arrival of the 26-station Réseau Express Métropolitain (REM) which will cross the Greater Montreal area is changing the landscape of the rental market.

Download Now

What makes an employee want to return to the office rather than stay at home? It's what they earn at the office that they can't get back home. In the race to entice employees back to the office, some leasehold improvement investments need to be rethought over the long term to entice employees back to work at the office. What are the benefits if employees come back more often and use these facilities? And what economic benefits can these improvements bring in the long term? What amenities and facilities do employees look for near an office building that add value to your building and help reduce high vacancy rates? What are the long-term impact of amenities and what is the return on investment? How can you know in advance what tenants want and how can you aim for the right things? Find out in this panel about the various tenant improvement initiatives implemented in Montreal and the impact they have had on the rental market, on lease renewals and on the long-term attractiveness of employees thanks to them.

Session C2 : How can we retain talent in the office and transform our workplaces into a new, more immersive experience?


Download The Presentation

Since the pandemic, the question of returning to the office has been one of the most important issues especially as the vacancy rate continues to rise month after month. Employers need to ensure that the work environment is appropriate to workers' needs, but also to offer them an enriching experience with colleagues and members of management. How do you create a beneficial experience for employees who come to the office, and have quality interactions with colleagues who work from home? How can we maintain transparent bottom-up internal communication with the configuration of hybrid work? How can we maintain our corporate culture and keep our employees engaged by transforming our offices and providing experiences for employees who commute to the office? In this session, we will discuss the initiatives we have put in place to offer a new experience for employees who come to the office and the strategies we have put in place to ensure that the space we have transformed keeps employees coming into the office more often.
