Effective management of real estate crucial to success in a pandemic
01:22
According to Piotr Karpiński, head of the property management department at CBRE, property managers have developed many effective procedures to deal with the pandemic. Nevertheless, 2021 brought them new challenges. It was on their shoulders all the time to adapt the functioning of the facilities to changing regulations and restrictions, as well as to maintain the sanitary regime and ensure the safety of users. And all this while maintaining a high level of functioning of commercial real estate.
"The retail market in 2021 was subject to constant changes that had to be faced by managers. These were, among others, regulations introduced by the government that had effects in agreements regulating lease. This required involvement in negotiations between the parties and higher activity in the area of administration," Piotr Karpiński said.
The activity of managers was also high on the office market.
"Companies have not decided to completely return their employees to their offices, but have implemented the trend of improving the quality of space and adapting it to the requirements, including by reducing the number of desks. Our tasks as a manager included developing safety procedures in buildings and complying with them, primarily in the common areas," the CBRE representative added.
