Chris Lee, President & CEO of CEL & Associates, Inc., published his July 2013 e-newsletter this week, and it is filled with useful information on the future of office real estate, including how generational differences are causing a shift in how office buildings are used.

From fixed space to collaborative space, from working in the office to working remotely and from 9-5 to 24/7 work schedules, this generational transfer is having a major impact on office space design and demand.
