Are open office plans still in demand, or are they proven to foster a less productive working environment? How about coworking spaces? 3. Is technology still the largest tenant driver in Atlanta? What makes Atlanta so appealing to tech firms and other corporations looking to relocate? 4. Which Atlanta submarkets are most appealing for office space, as it relates to rent, talent pool and accessibility? Is Midtown still the hottest submarket?
