    I’ll be curious to see if any of the project survive long term. A similar project in my city unfortunately collapsed a couple of years ago due to rising cost.

      TBH I think in most situations this excess office capacity could be most useful as affordable housing to bring a degree of sanity to rent and house prices.

        I think you’re both right. We need more building designed to be flex spaces. It’s impossible to guess what we need 20 years from now. Let’s make sure new construction can handle a wide range of use.
