COVID continued from page 21<br />
cost-effective for his current tenants<br />
to stay put, rather than move<br />
to other accommodations.<br />
Najor said his banquet hall, Regency<br />
Manor in Southfield, got “decimated.”<br />
Not just on labor issues, but<br />
suppliers have labor problems, which<br />
translate to increased costs. Suppliers<br />
have to pay higher wages and pass it on.<br />
For example, he said, beef tenderloin<br />
went from $10 a pound to $18<br />
a pound. Chicken breasts went from<br />
$1.92 per pound to $2.62 a pound, an<br />
over 30% increase.<br />

Some COVID effects<br />
Twitter: @ChaldeanChamber<br />

Some pandemic-driven changes<br />
will normalize over time as workers<br />
shake off the dust of long layoffs and<br />
rediscover the need for income as<br />
their subsidies evaporate. But other<br />
changes are likely to be long-lasting.<br />
Commercial real estate professional<br />
Kevin Jappaya of KJ Commercial<br />
Real Estate said the Zoom<br />
meeting trend accelerated by the<br />
pandemic was trending up before<br />
COVID set in and is likely to stay as<br />
part of the mix. He thinks changes<br />
in office space needs will also endure.<br />
“There is no<br />
argument that<br />
the demand for<br />
office space has<br />
softened. In addition,<br />
we have<br />
seen a large increase<br />
in companies<br />
sub-leasing<br />
Kevin Jappaya<br />
their space. Some<br />
companies have<br />
found this is a cost savings event…<br />
removing the lease line item of their<br />
income statement.<br />
“On the other hand,” he said, “we<br />
have seen many companies review<br />
their layouts and office flow to provide<br />
a better experience and, in many<br />
cases, tenants have expanded due to<br />
this. I also believe that many employers<br />
will realize that in most cases, inperson<br />
work is more productive than<br />
work from home and the demand for<br />
office space will come back. It will<br />
take time for this to happen.”<br />
Whatever shape the business<br />
world takes as we move from <strong>2021</strong><br />
into 2022, it seems clear there will<br />
be less getting ‘back to normal’ and<br />
more adapting to the ‘new normal’ as<br />
businesses adapt to a changed environment.<br />
