Key Takeaways
- In the next few quarters, tenants will need to renew ahead of lease expirations to secure a Charleston office location as office activity accelerates
- Tenants right-sizing their space usually only shave off 25% or less of their original office footprint
- Hybrid and remote options will likely cause some office tenants to reconfigure their space

Some are choosing to rightsize and/or reconfigure their offices because remote and flexible hybrid work schedules are widely acceptable. However, if there is any contraction of office space, it usually only constitutes giving back 20% of their original footprint. If tenants choose to relocate into a Class B or C building, the space will need to be upgraded to provide the desired amenities for hybrid office tenants.
