This transition has presented its challenges, but also shown us new ways we can be productive in our work and collaborate effectively with others.  As we continue to redefine the future of the workspace, business owners may see benefit from continuing to have their employees work remotely or semi-remotely. There are some challenges to managing a remote team, but with communication and structure your team can be more productive than ever!

Class A designation depends on the local market, but generally Class A office buildings are the most prestigious buildings in a market competing for premier office tenants. Class A office buildings are equipped with high-quality construction and finishes, state-of-the-art technology systems, premier location, exceptional accessibility, and market presence. In addition to these exceptional features and amenities, Class A office space is generally professionally managed, energy efficient, and more expensive than Class B and Class C office space.
