Even though the majority of commercial real estate industry falls within some level of uncertainty presently, professional office space is going to remain in a constant balance state. Being in-office and having a physical space is still a relevant, realistic goal for small businesses, large enterprises and those in between. “If we are going to have a physical office space, which we strongly believe is still necessary, then we wanted to shift our mindset from office space being a cost center to us, to office space being an asset for us.” Randy Harris, President of Lighthouse Technology Services, shared his collective thoughts for reaching vision with their space, and furthering Lighthouse’s goals and Buffalo’s tech community.

Is there a new purpose to office space? Randy mentions “Our new space is more functional and more inspiring than any environment we’ve worked in before.” Utilizing safe physical office space important to keep a business culture and ideation hub going, while simultaneously supporting employees and flexibility.
