Where do we go from here?

What if the future of the office isn’t about mandates…but about making people actually want to be there?In this third episode of my State of the Office in 2026 Workplace Series, I sit down with Jennifer Janus, President of Pophouse, to explore workplace through the lens of interior design, culture, and human connection.This conversation goes beyond real estate—it gets to the why behind the office.Key takeaways from the episode:We’ve moved from “return to work” ? “reinvention”The question is no longer if the office matters, but what it’s for.Design drives behaviorWell-designed workplaces are seeing double the utilization—experience matters.The office is part of an ecosystemWhen people come in, cities thrive—restaurants, retail, and community all follow.Amenities must be intentional—not gimmicksFrom social spaces to wellness and even play (yes… pickleball), the goal is connection and energy.Mandates don’t work—magnetism doesIf people don’t see value, they won’t stay. The best workplaces pull people in.Partnership is a competitive advantageThe best ideas—and best spaces—come from collaboration across disciplines.Flexibility is the future-proof strategyDesign for change, not permanence.This episode is a deep dive into how design, culture, and business strategy are converging to reshape the workplace.If you’re thinking about your office, your people, or your next move—this one’s worth your time.I’d love to hear from you . .

The workplace conversation isn’t about if the office still matters anymore…It’s about how it evolves from here.In the latest episode of Where Do We Go From Here?, I sat down with Tim Kay from JLL to unpack what’s really happening in the workplace and real estate market—both here in Detroit and nationally.What we found isn’t workplace chaos… it’s something more nuanced.Key takeaways from the conversation:Stability is the new baselineAfter years of volatility, the market is leveling out. Flat—but steady.Less space, better experienceCompanies are reducing square footage but doubling down on quality, design, and amenity-driven environments.Hybrid is settling into realityThe 4-days-in, 1-day-remote model is becoming the norm—and it’s reshaping how offices are designed.The flight to quality is realClass A, walkable, experience-rich environments are winning. Everything else is being forced to adapt… or rethink its future entirely.The office still mattersCollaboration, culture, mentorship—being together has measurable value. That debate is largely over.This episode is a snapshot in time—but also a signal of where things are heading.In the next episode, I sit down with Jenner Janus from Pophouse to explore workplace through the lens of brand, experience, and what the future of space could become.I’d love to hear from you !What are you seeing in your workplace right now?Are you downsizing, upgrading, or rethinking entirely?Drop your thoughts below or message me directly at [email protected]—these insights help shape future episodes.And if you’re enjoying the series, share it with someone in your network who’s navigating these same questions.#WorkplaceStrategy #FutureOfWork #RealEstate #Architecture #HybridWork #DetroitBusiness #OfficeDesign #Leadership

The Office Comeback Story Is Over . . Now Comes Reinvention.In the latest episode of Where Do We Go From Here?, I relaunch my Workplace Design Series for 2026 with a bold premise:The question is no longer “When will employees return?”It’s “Why should they?”From 2024–2025, we lived through the “return-to-office” era. Hybrid became the default. Mandates rose. Fatigue followed. Utilization patterns exposed hard truths. Some firms doubled down on presence. Others downsized, redistributed, or reinvested in culture-driven spaces.Now in 2026, we’ve entered a new phase: reinvention.In this episode — “The State of the Office 2026: From Return to Reinvention” — I explore:What the hybrid realignment phase actually taught usWhy presence ? productivityHow AI-driven analytics are transforming portfolio strategyThe shift from cost-per-square-foot to what I call impact-per-square-footWhy purpose-based design is becoming the competitive differentiatorBy the end of the episode, I share my 2026 predictions for the workplace market — including divergence across industries, adaptive reuse trends, and why firms that treat the office as an ecosystem (not overhead) may find themselves ahead of the curve.If you’re an executive, portfolio manager, developer, architect, interior designer, or workplace strategist — this conversation is for you.Listen now to Episode 1 of the 2026 Workplace Design Series.And stay tuned — the next two episodes feature industry leaders from real estate and interior design sharing their forecasts for what’s ahead.#FutureOfWork #WorkplaceStrategy #OfficeDesign #Architecture #HybridWork #Leadership #CommercialRealEstate #Innovation
