A majority of the respondents, 55%, reported that square feet per worker has already decreased between 5 and 25% over the last five years. It is clear that the amount of space dedicated solely to specific employees is shrinking. Today, just 24% of the respondents reported that the average space per office worker is 100 sf or less however, 40% reported that within five years, the average space per office worker would be 100 sf or less. "The main reason for the declines," said Richard Kadzis, CoreNet Global's Vice President of Strategic Communications, "is the huge increase in collaborative and team-oriented space inside a growing number of companies that are stressing 'smaller but smarter' workplaces against the backdrop of continuing economic uncertainty and cost containment." The average for all companies for square feet per worker in 2017 will be 151 sf, compared to 176 sf, and 225 sf in 2010. This has been the case in Europe for the past several years but is now heading for the Americas. New data released from CoreNet Global shows the average allocation of office space per person in North America will fall to 100 sf or below within the next five years.īy 2017, at least 40% of the companies responding indicated they will reach this all-time low benchmark of individual space utilization.
