Video: Chris Rising Breaks Down the Future of Office with Connect Media

Los Angeles-based Rising Realty’s Chris Rising is not shy about tackling the challenges facing the the commercial real estate industry today. He joined Connect Media’s Daniel Ceniceros recently to talk about the state of the market and what’s transpired over the past five months since the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, leaving in its wake a recession that’s profoundly re-shaping today’s office sector.

This is a must-watch conversation that explains why work from home strategies might not be a long-term solution, cybersecurity issues, the way these rapid shifts are impacting CRE markets, leasing activity and asset valuations, as well as how he sees the sector shaping up as we move forward. Rising talks about how to operate buildings in a safe manner, as well as the additional layers of coordination now required between landlords and companies as they work to bring their employees back to an office.
