HEY TENANT...WHAT DO YOU WANT?If you're a commercial office landlord with spaces to fill, that is the million-dollar question!For tenants, options in New York City (and most everywhere else) for office space abound from new construction A-level properties on down, with owners needing to offer a variety of concessions to lure companies in.How About An Office Innovation...MIROBGO, formerly known as BentallGreenOak, developed MIRO or move-in ready offices. It was designed 'to help the landlord commune with tenants to create offices that are ready to work for them from day one'.Do You Ever Wonder had the opportunity to speak with Rob Naso, a BGO managing partner and head of its U.S. asset management.We spoke about the issues faced by BGO by the work-from-home concept focused on work/lifestyle balance that has left many companies wanting to downsize.The competition office building owners face due to 14 million square feet of new modern office space soon to be on the market, but at the same time, the benefit of 1/2 the office space in New York City being obsolete.All of this in the face of an office vacancy rate in NYC of 22.7% in August.BGO has been using the concept of MIRO to deliver pre-builts that are “tech- and hybrid-enabled, emphasizing human-centric design to encourage adaptability, wellness, and collaboration.”'Suites range from 1,000 to 18,000 square feet. Tenants also share access to what BGO is calling “amenity centers” that would include town hall space and various perks such as a wellness center and food options. Lease lengths depend on tenant needs'. (Commercial Observer)BGO is in 14 countries across a variety of commercial property classes, but 685 Third Avenue, near Grand Central Terminal, is one of their properties in NYC where the MIRO concept can be seen and leased.To reach BGO with any inquiries, contact Sam Buckley, Executive Vice President, Leasing, at the information below...W: (212) 359-7835M: (201) 390-7559E: Sam.Buckley@BGO.com________________________________________________Please subscribe to Do You Ever Wonder using the two links below, and don't be shy about sharing the links with your friends.Subscribe on your favorite streaming platform here: https://areyouwondering.buzzsprout.com/shareSubscribe to Do You Ever Wonder on YouTube here:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzmL4Yaump_9Q7tMSChDoUQBe Our Guest!

In this episode, host David Abrams is in conversation with Sonny Kalsi, Co-CEO at BentallGreenOak. Sonny's career journey began working in investment banking at Morgan Stanley on Wall Street after completing his studies in finance. He had an opportunity to rotate from mergers and acquisitions to join the real estate group, which he thought would only last a year or so, but it stuck and he feels very fortunate to still be working in commercial real estate. Sonny has lived and worked in 6 different countries, and that experience is just one of the reasons why he has stayed in the industry so long. Sonny started GreenOak in 2010 and sometime later, a former Morgan Stanley colleague, Amy Price, then President at Bentall Kennedy connected to say, “I have this crazy idea”. A year later they got married, and their union created BentallGreenOak. We both share a passion for buildings, or “battleships'' as Sonny likes to call them. I really enjoyed hearing about his family story and our discussion about real entrepreneurship. Sonny shared his thoughts on technology disrupting CRE and the impact it's having on each sector of the industry. We talk about buildings and cities and the idea of placemaking, as well as the partnership between landlords, tenants and government. Sonny highlighted several ways that technology can improve the customer experience and also impact property management to help drive efficiency, find cost savings, and contribute to sustainability. Our conversation was free-flowing and super engaging and I look forward to continuing to stay connected with Sonny. Subscribe to TEN so you never miss an episode of the Tenant Experience Network.

In this episode, host David Abrams is in conversation with Dara Friedman, Managing Director at BentallGreenOak. Following her graduation with a liberal arts degree, Dara started her career journey in investment banking, where she was given a choice between focusing on technology or real estate. Since choosing real estate she has never looked back and now specializes in investment management. Dara points out that many of the phenomena we face today have been around for many years – shorter-term leases, more flexible spaces, making live-work-play a priority, and the issue of affordability. Building operators and occupiers must focus on tenant engagement, creating alignment through their approach. Amenities, health and wellness, energy use and reducing operational costs, are all key drivers of supporting human capital and contributing to the delivery of great customer experiences. Dara shared a bit about completing a merger amid the pandemic, and how the company created opportunities to socialize and integrate people across the globe. I appreciated Dara's reflection on how difficult living through the pandemic really was. Subscribe to TEN so you never miss an episode of the Tenant Experience Network.
