… this is the exact reason, companies oppose remote work :)

A fire sale has office buildings across America going for more than 90% off.

Landlords and their lenders held on to their office towers for years, hoping for a turnaround after Covid. Now, they are accepting enormous losses.

Owners and creditors are capitulating to the reality that more employees are splitting their work time between home and office. They are also resigned to stubbornly higher interest rates, which lower property values and make it harder for buyers to borrow.

Developer Asher Luzzatto paid a mere $5.3 million for the Denver Energy Center, after a foreclosure process. The two-building complex sold for $176 million in 2013.

In Chicago, real-estate developer Marc Calabria bought a 485,000-square-foot office building for $4 million. The building sold for $68.1 million a decade ago.

These distressed sales are paving the way for new owners to pursue redevelopment ideas that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago.

Rock-bottom prices are also accelerating the move to residential conversion.

After paying €7.80 for a pint, Matt Cortland had a suspicion he was being overcharged for his beer. So he created an AI agent with a Northern Irish accent that autonomously called more than 3,000 pubs across Ireland to ask what the price of a pint of Guinness was.

He then used the data to create a website called “Guinndex,” a live, crowdsourced index of Guinness prices across Ireland. One pub owner reportedly lowered prices after seeing their listing on the Guinndex. Cortland says that he wants to apply the same tech and methodology to every other consumer product to keep prices in check.

Have you struggled to get a job?

Charlotte Briggs, a 22-year-old business management graduate, has applied for 500 roles within two months. https://bbc.in/4bQ4Ue4

A university graduate from London holding a master's degree has been turned down for 500 positions - and described the experience as "demoralising". Theo dal Pozzo, 23, completed a first class postgraduate degree in computer science, specialising in machine learning, from the University of Exeter in 2024.

Since May 2025, following a brief period working at his family's hotel in Brazil, he claims he has submitted applications to more than 500 jobs – and received rejections from every single one. The aspiring software engineer, who relocated to London from Brazil aged two and holds British citizenship, even progressed to a final stage interview with one major tech company.

However, a candidate with 'eight years experience' was selected ahead of him at the final stage. Theo remarked: "It's very demoralising, because every time that you get a rejection it's back to square one with the next company.

"There seems to be less junior positions open than what I've heard from the past."

Theo attributes the recent surge in AI and large language model usage as partly responsible for the challenges he's faced securing employment.
