Flerida Santana speaks Albany view

During a team conference, NeoVista's Regional Director, Flerida Santana emphasizes the importance of forward thinking. She notes that renting buildings for office spaces or tenants may not be the most effective approach, suggesting that repurposing empty spaces for new businesses could be a more strategic alternative.

“Let’s be clear—post-pandemic, the demand for office space has collapsed. You’ve got buildings at 40% occupancy, leases expiring, and no one moving in. These spaces have been empty for years because owners and city leaders are still stuck in an outdated box—thinking office spaces will somehow bounce back or that converting them into apartments will make sense. Often the math doesn’t pencil out," said Santana.

At NeoVista, we don’t see underutilized buildings—we see untapped potential. We create sustainable, future-ready environments where people and businesses can flourish. This is the only proven path forward, and we’re leading the way—always thinking ten steps ahead.
