Commercial Observer - NY State of Office Forum 2026

John Meko, VP of North America and Global Operations, will join the panel “Demand Drivers: Shrinking Class A and B Space & the Future of NYC Office Inventory.”

As the office market continues to recalibrate, tenants are taking smaller and more flexible floorplates, prioritizing quality, and reshaping demand across both Class A and Class B buildings. What does this mean for New York City inventory? How are owners approaching the question of if they should reposition or rebuild as they develop a new playbook for aging commercial buildings? Hear from John and his fellow panelists on how assets are competing, which require reinvention, get insider perspectives on how this will transform New York’s major business corridors in the years to come.
