The data is in: Tenant sentiment is sending powerful signals about the future of commercial real estate. Early indicators of rising tenant uncertainty, shifting satisfaction drivers, and an unexpected drop in sustainability priorities offer both risk and opportunity for owners and operators preparing for 2026.
In this on-demand webinar, we explored the latest tenant sentiment trends and Kingsley Index data from the CRE Emerging Trends Report. The discussion covered what’s driving tenant satisfaction today, why sustainability is losing ground as a priority, and the nuanced stability of renewal intent across property types. We also examined how building performance is emerging as a key differentiator and the factors now shaping tenant decisions. Commercial real estate owners, operators, and managers gained data-backed takeaways and practical insights to stay ahead of shifting tenant expectations in 2026.

- Learn which building features and services are rising to the top of tenant priorities and how to adapt.
