Much more minor, but on the other hand, I suspect the chances are slipping fast for one of those 1-3 floor boosts that many large Chicago office towers have gotten in recent years either around groundbreaking or in the relatively early stages of construction.
That's good. I think you'll see more companies adopt their strategy of partial remote work, but not fully. This way employees are still kind of anchored to a particular city while they work there. Time zone differences become very important when you are working with all sorts of teams. Companies who talk about full WFH strategy will still face this reality ultimately. It can be brutal, for example, to work on projects when the project is based on eastern time but you live in San Francisco. That's the situation from my team, and all of the SF people who are required in various 9am meetings are required to be on..at 6am their time every single day.

The way they're structuring this basically says sure work from home twice a week but the other 3 days you better be in Chicago which ultimately is good for the region regardless.
