The state of emergency imposed by the current pandemic has led to almost total vacancy of office spaces, within the context of many of the employees working from home. The landlords want to lower service charge levels for this period and continue to provide the necessary services to maintain the buildings in optimal conditions, according to the real estate consultancy company CBRE, which manages a portfolio of over 7 million square meters of offices, commercial centers and industrial properties in Central and Eastern Europe.
Protecting office, production and logistics spaces and those working in these spaces is important. In this period of increased risk, here are some recommendations that you should consider to prevent the spread of viruses and bacteria in areas still in operation:
