Office space requirements: comparing occupiers' preferences with agents' perceptions
Series: Journal of Property Investment and Finance ; 21(1) 2003, 45-60(16)Publication details: 2003Subject(s): Summary: This paper reports the results from the first stage of a research project that examines changes in urban office occupiers' space requirements and their impact on the structure of urban office markets. The results discussed are based on two surveys: a detailed survey of office occupiers in two office submarkets in Edinburgh; and a second survey of office agents. This allows agents' perceptions of occupiers' space requirements to be compared with those expressed by respondent occupiers. The results suggest that agents' knowledge of occupier preferences vary across submarkets and that, in particular, they are less well informed about occupiers' preferences in non-traditional submarkets.
