However, for some, the monotony of Zoom meetings and feelings of isolation are notable impacts driving a desire to return to the office.

Overall, 2021 was a strong year for NAI Ohio Equities. December closings included several land deals and office leases. One of our largest transactions for the month was the sale of Huntwork Gardens, a multifamily portfolio located in Pickerington, Ohio, consisting of 24 units.

The NAI Ohio Equities Industrial Property Team explained that their business has flip-flopped with the majority of their 2021 representation being on the tenant side, where it has traditionally been on the landlord side.
