Perspectives on the Commercial Office Market and Managing Risk
Premier Office Magazine interviewed KBS CEO Charles J. Schreiber for his perspectives on the Commercial Office Market.

How The Office Impacts Employee Recruitment and Retention

The long history of real estate ownership has always involved risk management. But now -- with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic -- there’s a need to re-examine the critical importance of risk management as it relates to commercial real estate.
The sustainable real estate market continues to expand by impressive proportions.
Current real estate interest rates are in free-fall, now at depths never seen in the US. We can blame the COVID-19 pandemic in part for today’s ultra-low interest rates, but the reality is that rates have largely been in decline since the 1980s. It hasn’t been a straight line down, but the general trend has been lower and lower rates over time.
About KBS
We are committed to impacting communities in a positive way. A key to our success is cultivating prime office communities for our tenants, who, through their employees, innovation and pursuit of change, cause local businesses to thrive and create a higher demand for office space.
Another key is our deliberate and proactive acquisition, asset management and investment strategies, through which we strive to increase the value of real estate markets and contribute to economic growth.
This mindset is what America was built on. It drives progress across the world, and it is the very core of KBS.
