Commercial real estate firm Cresa, and 4Site by Cort, a sensor-based workplace occupancy and space utilization platform provider, have formed a partnership to help office occupiers optimize their workplaces.
In a trend prompted by the pandemic and furthered by projected economic headwinds, many occupiers are seeking ways to reduce underutilized space and real estate spend. Cresa and 4SITE are promoting a holistic approach to workplace optimization — one that balances the employer’s need for cost efficiency with the employee’s need for spaces that support their work and preferences, the companies said.
4Site’s wireless sensors offer an affordable plug-and-play solution while also protecting the privacy of the surveyed workforce. 4Site captures real-time occupancy metrics and generates reports and dashboards to illuminate utilization averages and peaks, utilization comparisons by space type, and other customizable reporting fields.
“We are very excited to partner with Cresa and work with a company that takes a comprehensive approach to solving their clients’ business challenges and demonstrates significant value to them in the process,” said Allison Ballard, vice president of 4Site by Cort. “The 4Site platform further enhances the Cresa workplace strategy advisory capability and will help fuel greater understanding of ongoing workplace trends, enabling both parties to make more insightful recommendations in the future.”
This technology is complemented by the expert analysis provided by Cresa’s Workplace Solutions Team. Cresa’s workplace professionals leverage the actionable data provided by 4Site’s sensors to illuminate opportunities to thoughtfully reduce or reconfigure space.
“Our clients are looking for easy-to-implement solutions that provide insights for planning and ongoing management of a single site or a portfolio of locations,” said Tricia Trester, head of client solutions at Cresa. “Combining 4Site’s space utilization sensors with our workplace advisory services provides actionable intelligence to address questions occupiers have now and into the near future.”
