Built for Working Alone
Why the office is still shaped for the work of the past.
The 10th Index measures whether offices fit the way people work, pairing 250M+ square feet of measured occupancy with, for the first time, forecasted shortage risk across thousands of floors.
In 2025, the share of companies actively enforcing office attendance more than doubled (CBRE Americas, 2025). Employees came back to collaborate. The offices they came back to were built for working alone.
The result: floors that look healthy on paper are already running out of the rooms people come in for. The Index shows where the shortage starts, when it hits, and what to change before your next plan is locked in.

Forecasted Shortage Risk (New)
What almost happened, across thousands of projected busy days. The only dataset of its kind.
Together They Show:
Which space type runs out first
before it does
