Family First Firm’s Post

A morning case of cognitive dissonance 🤯 A) You can read every other day how Canary Wharf’s offices are empty, the city is empty, everyone is working from home, it’s the end of commercial real estate etc. B) I’m writing this from a commuter train, absolutely packed, no one can get in, with people who I’m 99% sure are going to work in an office. Which one is it then? And a follow up question: if you recall absolutely everyone in the office, can the tube/trains/buses cope? #sardines #commuters #wfh #office

🔹 Let’s go behind the scenes with Victory Six at The Wharf! 🔹 Before moving onto The Wharf, our Victory Six team was working elbow to elbow, advising clients and building the foundation of our company. It was our Managing Partner Martin Rahmani who predicted The Wharf would be the next hot spot in the city. On any given day, we look out and see wandering tourists, excited concert-goers, and locals looking for their next go-to spot. The sunsets above the water have been spectacular, and our growing collection of office plants will definitely agree that the view is unmatched. You can find our team at The Pitch Workspace, enjoying the well-loved espresso machine, sleek office spaces, and productive ambiance. Our Managing Partner Andrew Clausnitzer comments, “People are alive and everyone is getting stuff done. The environment is open and airy, and it just makes you feel good.” The communal blackboard is also fun to check out, featuring building-wide happy hours and social events. Needless to say, we made the right choice!

Does your #BostonRealEstate property offer an environment perfectly catering to your business operations? Medford Housing Authority's strategic workspace relocation is an example of how meticulous planning yields fruitful results. Here’s what they did right - partnered with Cummings Properties and transformed a former electronics assembly plant into an optimal 5,300 sq ft office space! This new HQ boasts private offices, robust meeting and training rooms, a handy kitchenette, and ample parking spaces. Plus, accessibility to public transportation won't go unnoticed! This move challenges us to consider - is our current real estate strategy tapping the full potential of our property? Are there areas we might have overlooked? Let's reflect on our use of resources, location and design elements that can drive staff productivity & client satisfaction. It's time we stop settling for ‘good enough’ & start aiming for ‘great’.

"Though the U.S. office market is in meltdown mode with soaring vacancy rates, you wouldn’t know it at WSA. The leasing office has filled the building without ever putting up a listing." From the outside, 161 Water Street appears as a relic of 1980s New York, when big banks and financial institutions ruled the downtown scene. But inside, the building has undergone a full transformation into a "stylish creative mecca," drawing in innovative companies and ambitious, dedicated workforces to Lower Manhattan. Employees who work for WSA tenants – such as Bode , Care of Chan , Ghia and many more – are treated to amenities that make returning to office life a luxury. Complimentary matcha and fresh fruit are wheeled around in the mornings, followed up by oysters and truffles in the afternoon. An in-house florist makes the halls smell of orange blossom. A gym, spa and canteen are being added soon. Read more in The Wall Street Journal about how WSA is changing both the landscape of post-pandemic office culture, but also the neighborhood itself:

Time for a little shout out to the second bedroom that transformed into my beloved paper&stuff workspace from August 2020 until our recent move last week. When I first started working in that space, it was simply a bare-walled room housing only a few hundred cards. But, as paper&stuff blossomed, so did the inventory, and it piled up, gradually filling the room to the brim. It was a fun challenge, continually adapting the space to accommodate the growing collection. However, there came a point where squeezing in just one more item seemed impossible, and the clutter created a stressful work environment. Choosing to move to a new home was a personal decision with my husband, but it also presented the opportunity to find a place with a larger second bedroom, providing ample space for my ever-expanding product collection. I'll fondly remember the office where both the business and I grew so much within its cozy 100 sq ft confines. It offered an amazing view of Manhattan, a sight I'll treasure forever. I miss it already </3, but I'm also thrilled about where I am now and truly grateful for this incredible journey. …I’m not crying, you’re crying. #OfficeUpgrade #WorkspaceRevamp #BusinessGrowth #HomeOffice #WorkspaceGoals #TinyOfficeBigDreams #MovingOn #ManhattanViews #NewBeginnings #BiggerAndBetter #OfficeMakeover #GrowingPains #TetrisQueen #TheJourneyContinues

For the better part of 30 years, Kenneth Good, Jr. has stuck to his sandbox. The Dallas-based developer’s niche is collecting the washed-away sandcastles of #commercialrealestate: outdated office buildings. The cycle is simple. He snags the buildings for cheap, dresses them up and leases them out. Good’s business strategy isn’t glamorous, and neither is his way of carrying it out. He’s the most sensible #DallasFortWorth office developer you’ve never heard of, steadfast in the staying power of #ClassB office and unmoved by trends like work from home or fancy amenities. And, as TRD's Jess Hardin writes, Good’s practical and understated approach to #realestatedevelopment stands out among his peers — especially the Texans — whose expensive haircuts and flashy suits serve as signifiers for the money and hubris usually necessary to get the job done.
