For a large proportion of companies though, the office still represents an important beacon for our professional lives, but they have recognised the need to adapt it in order to fit in with the new needs of employees and the increasing distinction between working from home and the office.

Property Managers (PMs) are at the heart of property management and relations between landlords and tenants. They are an invaluable link in the real estate value chain. 

Property Management is a profession which constantly works to better accompany its clients. By building on experience and reacting thoughtfully and quickly to whatever might be thrown at us, we are able to evolve and develop new ways of supporting the operations of a building, for all of the stakeholders involved.

BNP Paribas Real Estate continues to develop W.I.R.E.D. (Wearable Immersive Real Estate Dataroom), the digital twin project that looks at a city in the past, present and future. This real estate analysis and forecasting tool uses data to reproduce past developments and anticipate future changes in cities, thereby providing a virtual immersion into a city’s heart.

Growth in the Eurozone is beginning to normalise, thanks to improvements in the labour market and wage growth speeding up.

While companies across Europe have managed the uncertainties linked to the health crisis in a way that has allowed employees to come back to the office, fundamental changes have now become part of our new workspaces.
