The strategic choice between a direct landlord lease and a flex-provider contract.
The dominant 2026 enterprise pattern is HQ on a traditional lease + satellite presence on flex. Flex wins below 30 seats and under 18-month horizons; traditional wins above 75 seats and 5+ year horizons.
Traditional vs flexible occupancy is part of the lease structure vocabulary that institutional Class A occupiers, landlords, and advisers use across Global markets. Understanding it correctly affects how you read lease documents, model occupancy economics, and benchmark deal terms across cities. Class A Atlas tracks regional variation alongside the global standard so cross-border occupiers can translate quickly.
