Outdoor sporting-goods retailer REI is pursuing a sale of its brand-new headquarters in a Seattle suburb, a example of how the pandemic is causing companies to overhaul their real estate needs.
REI’s new offices will be less centralized and “span multiple locations across the region,” according to a statement announcing the change. The company will also encourage more remote working.
