Colliers International’s Workplace Report for 2016.

Click for big version.

This biennial report (last produced 2014) analyses workplace and occupational trends in main centres across New Zealand.

Key findings of the report - from more than 430 leases - include:

• The workplace is changing. There is on-going demand for more efficient, agile and flexible space to meet the needs of a new workforce.

• Tenants are implementing new designs to meet demand, increase density and keep costs down.

• Focussing on workplace and demographic trends will help tenants plan their ‘whole-of-life’ leasing strategy.

• Despite the change in demographics, there will need to be delivery of space that meets all cohorts of the workforce.

• New Zealand is joining in on global trends with a rise in shared space and co-working facilities. At present, more than 40 co-working facilities are in operation across New Zealand with more expected soon.

• Nationally, the CBD office density for the four regions has reduced between the 2014 and 2016 surveys to 17.2 sqm per person compared to 16.4 sqm per person respectively.
