Summary

1) According to Google, half of all organizations (51%) offering employees flexible hours and the growth of competition in the co-working market how are Chicago's developers incorporating a space-as-a-service approach to their latest developments such as TJBC's 151 N. Franklin & McCaffery's Twelve01West?

2) How will the riverfront redevelopment transform the North Branch and Bucktown and what does the addition of a prime entertainment facility mean for Chicago's hospitality and retail market more broadly?

3) As Chicago positions itself to stay way ahead of the curve, how is the macroeconomic environment shaping the commercial real estate development outlook? In the long term, what do mammoth consolidatory deals like Colliers International buying a 75% stake in Chicago-based Harrison Street Real Estate Capital mean concerning trickle-down effects?

5) From sky-decks at the Aon center to an increased focus on space-as a-service and a hospitality-based approach to retail, office and multifamily projects,  which amenity add-ons should developers be focusing their efforts and what blend of asset classes are seeing the highest increase in footfall in mixed-use projects?
