Still Banking on Branches
Silicon Valley Bank (and others), inflation, fed interest rates and future job uncertainty are all fueling concerns about and within the banking industry. Yet, in the face of all this uncertainty, credit unions and community banks are still expanding their branch networks. Why? And are they going about it in the right way?
Your People, Your Workspace, Your Future
Nearly every firm we know has — or is in the process — of evolving its workplaces in order to recruit and retain key talent and grow their business. See what one of the world’s leading consulting firms has to say on the matter.
When the Music Stops
With a recession looming, credit union and community bank executives are working hard to determine what a downturn may mean for their HQ and branch portfolios. Word to the wise: Be wary of the upbeat songs being sung by real estate brokerage firms.
This Branch is Now Closed
A venerable retail bank is spending huge sums to close hundreds of branches. And they’re not alone. Are community banks missing something or are they – in fact – doing things right?
Let’s Get Phygital (Huh?!?)
The way we work is forever changed. The question for many community banks is the extent to which they accept that concept and what, if anything, they plan to do about it for both their real estate portfolios and their future-at-large

Look Before You Lease
Looking ahead to 2023, what does your wealth management firm’s ideal space-of-the-future look like and how close is that environment to what you currently have? Chances are it’s pretty different.
Maybe Your Ironclad Lease Isn’t
A common perception among many wealth management firms is that there is little, if anything, they can do to improve their current office lease before renewal. Turns out, that’s a costly mis-perception.
