There’s a “shock” coming for the industrial property market, however the chances ahead are big, according to Mark Dixon, CEO of versatile workplace business IWG.
Technology made it possible for a “fundamental seismic shift” in industrial property as the Covid-19 pandemic forced countless individuals to work from house for the very first time, Dixon stated– and employees do not always desire things to return to how they were in the past.
“There’s this assumption that people like commuting into a central business district. They don’t. It’s a complete waste of time and money and they don’t want to do it,” Dixon informed CNBC on “Squawk Box Europe”Tuesday
He included that staff members are now working more proficiently “than they’ve ever done before.”
Dixon established IWG– previously called Regus– in1989 Now, it has more than 3,300 workplaces throughout 120 nations.
He states “there’s a shock coming” for industrial property looking ahead. “Look at the United States. You’ve got some of the largest property companies in the world handing back properties to their bank.”
But it’s not all problem; Dixon stated there is a “real opportunity” for using property to alter. In truth, he stated that workplaces in the future might really operate in a comparable method to filling station.
“They’re all over, it’s a network of fuel stations, [you can] drive throughout the nation. Work will resemble that. You will discover locations to work all over, we network them completely and make them simple to utilize,” he stated.
“We’ve got such a huge amount of opportunity in the business we’re in.”
