Propmodo’s Decoding Real Estate Podcast

The office market has been on a rollercoaster since the pandemic reshaped how and where we work. While some cities like New York and Dallas have seen a strong rebound, many other markets continue to struggle as companies rethink their need for office space. The question remains—will the office sector ever fully recover?

Michael Mandel, CEO of CompStak, joins Decoding Real Estate to cut through the speculation with hard data. With exclusive insights into lease trends across major U.S. markets, he explains why he believes office will bounce back—and why the flight to quality is reshaping demand for Class A and B buildings.

What does the future hold for office landlords, investors, and tenants? Will high vacancies lead to more distress sales, or is a recovery already underway? Get the full breakdown in this must-listen debut episode.
