Smart Spaces: The Power of Technology as an Amenity When Choosing Office Space

December 15, 2023

When thinking of what amenities employees need to return to the office and thrive, the first that come to most are ones of convenience: food and beverage options, outdoor spaces, on-site parking, and wellness amenities. Tenants of 1313 and 1201 North Market in downtown Wilmington, Delaware already enjoy these amenities, and more! But what about the technological needs of a hybrid world? With the growing need for a connected workspace, the ability to secure your data and stay connected should be on the top of everyone’s amenity list. At Johnson Commercial Real Estate, we’ve made this a priority.

The answer is simple.
