The dramatic impacts of a post-pandemic environment are reshaping downtown business districts across the country. With many workers reluctant to make the long commute back into city centers, urban office tenants are fleeing to the highest quality and most unique offerings available to entice their workforces back in person.

This includes new places of entertainment which have the potential to bring people into downtowns and remind people why they choose cities in the first place.
