## Practical guidance

[Commute time](/topics/workplace-talent-strategy) has hardened from a soft amenity to a leasing variable. In Mexico City, expect a measurable rent premium for buildings within 5 minutes' walk of a major rail terminus. Run an isochrone map across your actual headcount postcodes before shortlisting buildings — not after.
