Depends.
If you can lure offices from high priced spaces down to AP, or add
hospital support (neptune has taken care of that), University/College
(again, neptune), financial (gone)... back-office (india/down
south...)
Modern technology eliminates the needs for lots of back office. Same
goes for retail. They can ship direct to customer. We just did a
lease for a furniture retailer. 1/2 the space, 1/4 utilities. Don't
need to really have stock room - punch order in and it gets shipped.
More and more retailers on the 'net and understanding it. You become
a showroom...less space.
But people need a place to go to touch and buy. But in the
future...? I watch my kids shop or we do it together - on the net.
Overstock.com, Amazon, Dogfunk, Zappos and Ebay etc.
Gets to the house quicker then getting us all to go shopping. And
cheaper - for the merchandise, no gas, no other stops for food or
other unneeded items.
The storefront of the future - a couple nice displays, large LCDs, -
a few samples to try on, click and buy.
