Ed Piccinich, chief operating officer of developer SL Green Realty Corp., is bullish about prospects for the office market in New York City and elsewhere as the COVID-19 Omicron variant wanes and companies activate return to work plans. As they do, tenants in SL Green’s 27-million-sq-ft portfolio of city office spaces will be in for some pleasant surprises.
That’s because New York City’s largest commercial landlord hasn’t sat on its hands over the past two years. During the pandemic, SL Green rolled out an array of improvements ranging from the latest air filtration systems to deluxe amenity centers—all meant to keep current tenants happy and to attract new ones.
