There has been no demand for student housing, a result of the universities&#8217; strike over funding agreements with the central government. It is hoped that the armistice between the regulators and<br \/>\nthe lecturers will be more permanent than in previous seasons. Central business districts are no longer the<br \/>\nundisputed destination for new developments. Some suburbs are now under strong consideration as developers are choosing, as they did in the 2018 recession, to make more research-driven decisions.Both retail and office landlords are changing to remain attractive.
