Word on the street is that many upper floors requiring a long elevator commute will not be occupied again for a long while, or at least not any real capacity. Many are even purchasing townhouses or occupying 1-3 story suburban commercial offices now instead. Some are confirmed to work from home until 2021 (like lawyers, etc...).
Anyone else witnessing this? Any theories on what 30th floors at say the Seagrams Building could turn into?
They'll become "wutever clubs" indoor combi of on- and offline go-kart racing tracks, everybody in full gear and helmets so no contamination risk. Like this one in China, on the top floor of a shopping mall:
I've never done it, just seen stuff online. Basically everyone has like 20 pound recurve bows with 'arrow's that have big foam rubber balls for tips. I imagine there is a lot of people getting string slap on their bow arm. ;)

Chad, you underestimate nerds - there's a whole market for fantasy/steampunk/medieval(ish) forearm guards.

I've done the archery tag thing... organized a 40 person bachelor party around it. It's great fun and one helluva workout. I decided to forgoe the forearm guard and played in a t-shirt. My entire left arm was solid black from the string slaps.
Don’t think wework is going to be doing much of anything, aside from unloading the few physical assets they accumulated toward the end, promptly followed with a bankruptcy filing. Perhaps they can donate the various leftover snacks and communal office acctrouments to the theme park effort.
upper floors in Commercial Real Estate occupancy?

I like that idea. Maybe throw in some paintball or foam archery tag!
Never heard of foam archery tag, sounds interestingly medieval.

constant leisure - is the future.

constant leisure - reminded me of Wall-E
aterlier - NS proves my point. 8-). I really want to do the archery tag thing but with my 60 pound recurve. ::evil laughter::
They’ll be occupied again, eventually
Capitalism has a very short memory

.
There's speculation that we won't see "normal" until 2024.
well if that's the case beta, it's on like donkey kong
