BUILTENVIRONMENT60THE RTO EFFECT: ISTHE OFFICE MARKETREVIVAL UPON US?As companies adapt to the complexities ofreturn-to-office (RTO) mandates across bothpublic and private sectors, the office market isundergoing significant shifts. President DonaldTrump’s recent executive order requiringfederal employees to return to in-person workhas only added further momentum to thistrend, reinforcing the push for physical officespaces. While some areas have seen an uptickin leasing activity, the question remains: Is thisa true recovery or just a temporaryadjustment?For deeper insights, we turn to two industryexperts—Justin Cazana, SIOR, of Avison Youngin Knoxville, Tenn., and William O’Brien, SIOR,of M.C. O’Brien Inc. in New York City. These twocities occupy different ends of the RTOspectrum.Knoxville, a fast-growing city in a traditionallyconservative state, saw an early return to in-person work, influenced by cultural andpolitical factors. Meanwhile, New York City—adense, blue-state metropolis—hasexperienced a slower rebound, shaped byprolonged restrictions and a strong presenceof industries like finance, law, and tech, wherehybrid work remains prevalent.CONTINUE READING >Copyright: Canva Pro

The General Services Administration has now announced that the White building is slated tobe sold in response a move on the part of the advisory Department of GovernmentEfficiency, otherwise known as DOGE.The action on the White Building comes as the GSA has announced that just under 450federal buildings nationally are set to go to market in the efficiency move.In a statement, the GSA said that it is currently engaged in a process of “identifying buildingsand facilities that are not core to government operations,” with non-core properties set fordisposal.Selling the various properties, continues the GSA statement, “ensures that taxpayer dollarsare no longer spent on vacant or underutilized federal space.” The action also means, saysthe GSA, doing away with “costly maintenance.”Three other federal buildings in El Paso are slated to be sold: the R. Thomason FederalBuilding and Courthouse at 511 E. San Antonio Avenue, which was built in 1938 and featuresArt Deco design elements; and the US Business Service’s Good Neighbor Buildings A and Bon N.

In the 1990s, the company, with nearly 700stores across the country, purchased the Cloth World chain of fabric stores, giving it another655 locations.The stores remained popular for several decades largely due to the company's large varietyof affordable fabrics, craft materials, and sewing supplies. Declining sales around 2022 and 2023, among other factors, led the Jo-Ann company tooriginally seek Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection early last year. Although the company wassubstantially reorganized as a result, its problems remained, leading to a second filing forbankruptcy protection two months ago.In the immediate wake of that second filing, the company announced that it was closing all ofit's locations nationally. In a statement, the company said it was dedicated to ensuring an"orderly wind-down of operations that minimizes the impact on all our stakeholders."With its stores ranging in size from 7,500 to nearly 52,000 square feet, Jo-Ann's has been avisible retail presence everywhere from the East Coast to the Midwest to California.

"The Reserve is like adigital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrencyoften called 'digital gold.'"Beyond Bitcoin: Altcoins Go to theStockpileIn addition to the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,the executive order also establishes a U.S.Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting ofEthereum (ETH), XRP, Solana (SOL), andCardano (ADA)—four altcoins Trump haspublicly supported."IN ADDITION, the Executive Orderestablishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile,consisting of digital assets other thanBitcoin forfeited in criminal or civilproceedings," Sacks wrote on X.Unlike the Bitcoin Reserve, which explicitlyprohibits sales, the Digital Asset Stockpileallows for more flexible management,including potential liquidations orreallocations by the Treasury Department. Crypto Industry Reacts: 'A FinancialRevolution'Trump's decision has drawn both praise andcriticism from the crypto industry."Trump's plan for a reserve has fired thestarting gun on the crypto arms race," saidNigel Green, CEO of deVere Group, in astatement to Business Insider.

In California suchturf will be banned on properties owned bylocal governments as of 2027, and oncommercial and industrial properties thefollowing year.The bill follows earlier legislation thatprohibits the planting or existence of suchturf on any new or redeveloped governmentproperty, in particular medians and rights-of-way.The measure has made it out of the HouseAgriculture, Water & Natural ResourcesCommittee on a 9 to 3 vote, and is nowunder consideration in the full House.
