WHEN WORK COMES HOME AS WE EMERGE FROM THE PANDEMIC, EMPLOYERS ARE SHIFTING MORE JOBS TO EITHER FULLY REMOTE OR HYBRID, FURTHER DRIVING DEMAND FOR LARGER PROPERTIES ON THE NORTH SHORE WITH OFFICES OR SPACES TO BUILD THEM OUT. BY MITCH HURST THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND
One of the big questions as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic was going to always be if and how our lives would permanently change—in particular our work lives. With so many companies moving to a remote working environment, there were bound to be questions about productivity and if companies could continue to maintain their businesses while having a dispersed workforce. The answers to those questions are starting to come in. Companies are now offering fully remote or longterm hybrid work situations for employees, which means the “new normal” post-COVID is going to look a lot like work during the darker days of the global health crisis. In covering the real estate market during the pandemic, The North Shore Weekend regularly noted that buyers wanted more space—for offices, for the kids to play, for quiet time—and that need for more space triggered an unprecedented demand in the market the past years that continues to this This home located at 106 Woodley Road in Winnetka includes a home office just off the master bedroom. It's just one example of the types of North Shore homes that are currently in high demand as people shift more permanently into remote work options.
