CBRE Rolls Out Free Workplace Planning Product

CBRE has rolled out Spacer, a free workplace planning product aimed at companies with 15-300 employees that may have never enlisted the help of a workplace consultant. “Spacer is an accessible technology that allows companies of all sizes to think about how to integrate new ways of working into their office space in formats that make sense for them,” said Damla Gerhart, Chicago-based Americas lead for CBRE’s workplace practice.

Available to companies of any size, Spacer delivers a custom, architect-ready space program with square footage recommendations for every desk, office and collaboration space, along with employee amenities.

“Most large companies are now utilizing some degree of workplace strategy in their real estate process,” said Gerhart. “Smaller companies are also looking to create a workplace environment that attracts talent and engages employees in meaningful ways, but often without access to the resources larger organizations are using.”
