WX Experts Talk Return-to-Work Challenges

Experts who are tackling the “return-to-work” challenges every day spoke on Sept. 24 at the WX New York Women Executives in Real Estate’s monthly programming event via Zoom. The leaders discussed how the office and work environments are quickly adjusting to the current “new normal” post-COVID.

Organized by Jane Yang, director – investments at Meadow Partners, and Adriana de Alcantara, senior managing director – fund management at Hines, the conversation focused on the innovative and effective strategies that landlords are implementing in response to the pandemic, how major office users and their workforces are navigating in their new work environments and the biggest re-opening related issues for policymakers.

Speakers included Jessica Lappin, president of the Alliance for Downtown New York; Mike Norton, global head of property management at JP Morgan; and Charlie Kuntz, head of innovation at Hines.
