Colliers Global Occupier Services released its inaugural “Building Resilience: 5 Megatrends Redefining Corporate Real Estate” report, drawing on analysis from over 24,000 professionals across 62 countries. With $5.7 billion in annual revenues and $109 billion in assets under management, Colliers positions itself as a leading advisor on location strategy under technological, demographic, and economic pressures.

The study outlines five intertwined forces: AI-enabled workforce transformation altering space requirements; seismic demographic shifts driving geographic talent planning; intensifying energy scarcity and security constraints; rising physical climate risks necessitating infrastructure resilience; and a shifting global order reshaping trade corridors and supply chains.

To help clients navigate these trends, Colliers introduced the Resilience Radar, a visual assessment tool revealing widespread unpreparedness for energy and talent constraints. The firm recommends strategies like flexible leasing, remote workforce expansion, nature-based solutions, and supply chain realignment to strengthen resilience and unlock long-term competitive advantages.
