The implication is that when those leases come up over the next few years, office space will be cleared out, and we'll see companies give up on return to office mandates. We'll have a glut of commercial real estate to rezone and convert into residential apartments (either total rebuild or remodeling the existing space, depending on the building). Work from home should settle into a constant rate, perhaps even slowly growing as more workers come to expect it.
