300 Million Square Feet of Office Space To Be Vacant by 2030. What Happens to the Building Workers?

Five years after I founded UpKeep, we were growing and ready for a new office space. I signed a seven-year lease for a 200-person space in Los Angeles in February 2020 – probably one of the most unlucky times in recent history to sign a long-term office lease. Oops. As everyone knows, COVID ramped up immediately after and the vast majority of employees began working from home.
