Cresa and 4SITE by CORT | February 07, 2023
On February 06, 2023, one of the world's largest occupier-centric commercial real estate firms, Cresa and a provider of a sensor-based workplace occupancy and space utilization platform, 4SITE by CORT, announced their partnership. The two combined will help office occupiers optimize their workplaces.
Many occupiers are looking for ways to reduce underutilized space and real estate spending, as projected by economic headwinds and promoted by the pandemic in a trend. Cresa and 4SITE both acknowledge the importance of cost-effectiveness for businesses, but they also advocate for a more rounded strategy for optimizing workplace environments, one that considers the wants and needs of both employers and workers.
Cresa and 4SITE's partnership is ingrained in a shared commitment to help occupiers make decisions about their workplaces and using data. 4SITE's wireless sensors are the first of their kind, providing an easy-to-implement plug-and-play option that is both cost-effective and reliable for respondents' right to privacy. With 4SITE, you can track occupancy in real-time and get reports and dashboards that break down utilization averages and peaks, compare utilization across different types of spaces, and more.
Additionally, Cresa's Workplace Solutions Team will provide expert analysis as an add-on to the technology, where the experts leverage the data gleaned from 4SITE's sensors to shed light on how office space can be reduced or reorganized more efficiently. As a result, both partners give occupiers a competitive edge, one that reduces costs and improves the employee experience to bring people back to the office.
