"The Tech industry is the leader in giving back space and the leader in sublease space. We have over 12 million square feet of sublease space available in greater LA and over 50% of that is tech or tech related space. We are rising to that current challenge." - Ron Burkhardt

The rapid evolution of real estate, commercial real estate, is reverberating with emotional and intellectual energy, forces that have intensified in the face of adversity. Change is afoot now when hybrid work remains the norm and the barometer of work practice is yet unbalanced, perhaps even more organization specific than at any time before in the history of work. Bringing his perspective on leasing urban workspace is Ron Burkhardt, Managing Director at Newmark. Ron represents a very new, emerging culture of real estate professionals, those with sustainability a central purpose in their practice, a mantra that we share.

Together, design and real estate professionals are beyond the box, reworking work --- the workspace has drastically changed. Trending toward a residential casual workplace: pre-pandemic in California working from home was the norm. The collective C-suite is mixed in its demands. Now, all classes of office space, Class A high-rises as well as Class B and C tenant renewals are impacted, redefined as hybrid and re-organizing to adapt. Thinking differently is nothing new to this duo. Explore with DesignIDEATE.

Ron Burkhardt joined Newmark Knight Frank as a vice president of the Washington, DC, office. Now situated as a managing director in the firm's West Los Angeles office, he continues to specialize in national tenant representation and corporate services, providing his clients with real estate-related professional and technical support.
