The real estate portal Solili highlighted that the national office market will continue to recover during 2022. In addition, it will be the mixed-use projects that will drive the demand for corporate space.

“The offices in coexistence with commercial and residential uses will be those that will maintain a demand that tends to a progressive recovery; although still far from the momentum brought by the sector prior to the pandemic, "he said.

Likewise, the platform indicated that, despite the uncertainty that is still present in the real estate market, during the last two quarters, the demand for offices has slowly reactivated; meanwhile, unemployment has already been more decelerated.

Net absorption at the national level is still in negative territory; However, Solili stressed that this indicator has been improving, since unemployment rates are lower than at the beginning of the pandemic.

In addition, the spaces are in the process of reconfiguration, since now it is necessary to allocate more space per square meter per person; in order to keep the suggested distances. Likewise, they should have fewer areas for exclusive use and more areas for multiple uses.

"These movements have meant that the downward adjustment in demand has not been as pronounced as what had been anticipated at the beginning of 2020. And little by little the demand is in a slow recovery," he mentioned.
