Office as an experience space: New York shows the way

Between stricter rules, quality of experience and smart services, new concepts are emerging that turn office buildings into experience spaces. PROBIS is also involved in the midst of this change: Our software is supporting the precise control of costs and processes in the modernization of the 110 William Street high-rise in Lower Manhattan - together with the financier Deutsche Pfandbriefbank.

But what incentives or regulations are needed for the back-to-office trend? 

Verizon, for example, recently relocated more than 1,000 employees to the new PENN2 building near Penn Station and at the same time significantly tightened the attendance requirement: instead of the previous eight days a month, the requirement is now to be in the office three days a week. The goal is clear - more collaboration and a stronger sense of community.

JPMorgan is taking an even more ambitious approach. With the new 270 Park Avenue Tower in Midtown, the bank is setting a milestone in office design. The 60-storey building offers a food hall with 19 restaurants, a health and fitness center, circadian lighting, retreat rooms and digital services such as personalized access and smart workplace solutions. This turns the office into a feel-good campus that promotes health, creativity and identification.

These examples show: The office is no longer a place of pure functionality, but an experience space that creates long-term employee loyalty.

PROBIS in Manhattan - 110 William Street‍

In the midst of this change, PROBIS itself is supporting a striking office project in New York: the modernization of the 110 William Street skyscraper in Lower Manhattan. Here, PROBIS is supporting cost and project controlling in cooperation with the financier Deutsche Pfandbriefbank. Landmark projects of this kind in particular show how crucial transparency and precise control are for the successful implementation of new workplace concepts.
