Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK) has released a comprehensive report analyzing commercial real estate trends five years after the COVID-19 pandemic. The report highlights several key developments:

Cities are experiencing a resurgence, with Manhattan seeing a 9% increase in young population (15-29) during 2022-2023. Class A office leasing in CBDs has returned to 41% market share. The study reveals that employees living within a mile of work show 90% office return rates, while those beyond three miles only reach 70%.

Notable trends include: normalized consumer behavior with e-commerce returning to 15% annual growth; reduced construction across sectors (industrial -17%, multifamily -8% below Q1 2020 levels); and office development declining from 135M to under 30M square feet. The report emphasizes the growing importance of experiential spaces, with two-thirds of urban foot traffic coming from visitors, though only 12-15% of city real estate is dedicated to 'Play' spaces versus an optimal 25%.
