The trend towards creating corporate campuses with all the amenities built in is becoming less and less desirable for employees. Today employees are looking for more than just a place to work; they want to be part of a vibrant and authentic community that reflects their values and interests. It is becoming increasingly clear that co-locating your organization in an urban fabric with other top organizations in adjacent industries can be a powerful way to attract and retain top talent. Bringing together a diverse mix of progressive and exciting companies creates an energetic and innovative ecosystem that fosters creativity and collaboration. By being a part of a place that employees want to spend time in, companies can tap into the energy and creativity of the surrounding community and offer their employees a more dynamic and fulfilling work experience. Moving towards a distributed model for corporate real estate is also a smart strategy for companies that want to give their employees more flexibility and autonomy. Companies can be more intentional and tactical about when and why people co-locate, giving employees a place to work with the people and teams that matter to them. By allowing employees to live, work, and play within a 15 minute walk, companies can help their employees achieve a more balanced and sustainable lifestyle while also fostering a sense of community and connection to the surrounding area.
