Survey Results: How COVID-19 has impacted corporate real estate leases and decisions

We recently surveyed hundreds of companies, including 700 Visual Lease customers (see Fig. 2), about the impact COVID-19 has had on their corporate real estate leases. As seen in the infographic images below, we found a wide range of companies that shifted the occupancy within physical office locations, which resulted in exploring rent relief options, payment deferment options, and varied other financial and operational decisions.

Fig. 1: COVID-19 had a substantial impact on commercial real estate leases, causing a majority of surveyed companies to make critical decisions regarding lease payments and office locations.
