What Occupiers Want 2025
Shaping the Corporate Real Estate Agenda
In partnership with CoreNet Global, Cushman & Wakefield presents the 2025 edition of What Occupiers Want - our biennial global survey that captures key priorities and perspectives into the shifting dynamics of decision-making, investment, workplace trends and portfolio strategies of occupiers worldwide.
What Occupiers Want 2025 report explores the evolving priorities of global occupiers at a time of rapid change. With cost efficiency, workplace experience, and access to talent under pressure, the research provides a clear view into how organisations are making decisions about space, people and strategy. The findings reveal how companies are balancing financial discipline with employee needs, while redefining what creates long-term value in their real estate portfolios.
Why it Matters
Today’s occupiers are shaping far more than physical space — they are designing environments that foster culture, boost engagement, elevate employee experience, and deliver long-term business performance. Grounded in global survey insights, this report provides a cross-functional view of how workplaces must evolve to meet both organisational goals and the needs of people.
