How will theoffice experience change when shelter-in-place restrictions arelifted? It is a question that property managers are starting toask. As restrictions ease across the country, property managers areimplementing ways to make the office experience touch-less orcontact-less for tenants and their employees. AtJLL, they are referring to the process asreactivation.

"We are starting to think about a re-entry program, and we arestarting to think about how to set the stage for people to get backinto office buildings," Peter Belisle marketdirector of the southwest, tells GlobeSt.com. "Property managershave been very active in this process, and they are acting as abridge between the tenant and the landlords."

This experience will attempt to get tenants from the parkinggarage to individual units without touching anything. That willmean eschewing elevator buttons, requiring social distancing in thelobby, installing automatic doors and parking equipment andrequiring protective gear. JLL's property management teams are alsoactively connecting with tenants to understand expectations inshared spaces. "We have had some great tenant-to-tenant forums andsharing what the expectations are of the landlords and of eachother," says Belisle. "We are trying to get tenants to move throughthe building in a contact-less way. That has been a reallyinteresting discussion."
