Link Logistics on Building the Data Foundation AI Actually Needs

New York Is Back. AI Is Complicating It.

New York office rents are up 28.5% from their post-pandemic trough, the strongest recovery of any major U.S. market. But the story behind that number is more nuanced than the headline suggests, and a new complication is showing up at the negotiating table: clients armed with AI tools that don't always get it right. CompStak Co-Founder and CEO Michael Mandel sits down with Gabe Marans, Vice Chairman at Savills, to unpack what's driving New York's recovery, why San Francisco is roughly two years behind, and what happens when 31% of Manhattan sublease space expires between 2026 and 2028. They also get into AI: how brokers are using it to sharpen their workflows, and why Marans is now spending time de-educating clients who arrive convinced they deserve lobby signage in a 3 million square foot building.
