What Occupiers Want 2025

Shaping the CRE Agenda

In partnership with CoreNet Global, Cushman & Wakefield presents the 2025 edition of What Occupiers Want—our biennial global survey that captures key priorities and perspectives into the shifting dynamics of decision-making, investment, workplace trends and portfolio strategies of occupiers worldwide.

Amid lingering uncertainty and a heightened focus on cost, this year’s report explores how leading organizations are redefining value in corporate real estate. From aligning with the C-suite to quantifying workplace impact, occupiers are seeking new frameworks that balance financial rigor with a people-first approach.

Why it Matters

Occupiers today do more than manage space—they create environments that drive culture, engagement, experience, performance and long-term business value. This report, based on survey findings, offers a global, cross-functional perspective on how the workplace must adapt to support both people and business objectives.

Key Findings from the 2025 Report

  • Cost still drives decisions, but new performance metrics are emerging.
  • CRE teams are becoming more strategic, aligning with HR, Finance and IT.
  • ESG priorities are shifting, with notable regional differences.
  • Landlords have an opportunity to lead by offering services, not just space.
  • Flexible location strategies are essential for talent access and retention.
  • Office occupancy is stabilizing, but expectations for the workplace are rising.
