It has been about 6 months now that Covid-19 has hit North American shores and every part of our personal and business lives has been effected. Commercial property managers have had to make some significant adjustments to continue to serve their landlords, tenants and the visiting public.
For those of us in the commercial real estate world we have been focusing primarily on the payment of rents or the lack thereof and the avalanche of requests for rent relief. However, an often overlooked aspect of the Novel Coronavirus is how the pandemic has affected the business and processes of commercial property management.
In this webinar, my very distinguished panel of property management experts will discuss and answer the following questions:
To what extent has Covid-19 changed commercial property management?
Will these changes be temporary or permanent?
What future changes do we see for property managers over the next 5 – 10 years.
Among other things, we will consider these additional topics:
How ubiquitous will cameras be in public places of private property?
Will property managers inspect properties remotely?
Will property managers experience greater efficiencies through technology?
How has Covid-19 affected property security, if at all?
Special Covid-19 considerations for office cleaning services.
