Hosted by Dominic Manfredi
Welcome to the AHR podcast series, where we engage in captivating conversations about the built environment and its influence on shaping a more positive future.
In this episode, office and workplace sector lead, Dominic Manfredi is joined by David Porter, head of Knight Frank’s Manchester Commercial office, as well as his colleagues Robert Hopkins and Simon Lamprell.
We explore the current risks and opportunities which are driving the market and developments this year.
Sustainability remains at the forefront of everybody’s mind. How is this shaping demand and what’s influencing the next evolution in office and workplace design?
In this episode, we refer to the abbreviation CBD. For those who may be unfamiliar, CBD stands for Central Business District and is the commercial and business centre of a city.
