Covid-19 has impacted every aspect of society but energy and real estate are particularly interesting. For example, if businesses shift the location and footprint of their operations to accommodate work-from-home employees, will demand for commercial real estate decline? Will employees prefer to move to the suburbs to access more personal space for their families post-Covid? If employees are not commuting to work, will demand for gasoline decline but demand for diesel fuel to support deliveries remain stable? Together, employer and employee decisions on commuting or a flight to the suburbs may drastically shift economic activity and related property tax and sales tax dollars across (or from) specific municipalities and business districts. What would these demand shocks do to the profitability and business strategies of energy companies?

This panel covers these and other issues associated with the inter-connected impacts on energy and real estate as we transition to a post Covid-19 world. View the webinar recording!
