Workforce Development for Infrastructure

Ryan Conner, Principal with Tactix Real Estate Advisors, speaks with Troy Mix, Associate Director of the University of Delaware's Institute for Public Administration (IPA), about how increased levels of remote work may impact the demand for office space.

Topics covered in this October 29, 2020 interview include how companies and organizations are reconsidering their space needs in light of remote work, forecasted changes in the commercial real estate sector, and prospects for Delaware’s economic recovery from the pandemic.

Tactix Real Estate Advisors is one of the Delaware Valley’s fastest-growing commercial real estate brokerage firms, and Ryan’s practice is solely focused on representing tenants and other end-users of commercial real estate with leasing, acquisition, and disposition strategies. Ryan’s real estate career started as a graduate intern with the Riverfront Development Corporation of Delaware. He earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Delaware (UD) along with a Master of Public Administration degree from UD’s Biden School of Public Policy & Administration.

This episode continues the Future of Remote Work series presented through IPA’s First State Insights podcast. This series of articles and interviews seeks to shed light on remote work trends; explore implications for businesses, communities, and policymakers; and spur conversations aimed at making this emerging reality work well for Delaware.
