Transportation, flexibility and technology

To borrow a little from REM... 'it's the end of the commercial real estate world as we know it and Adam feels fine.' Okay, it's not the end and maybe not quite the beginning, but it's coming and we're excited.

The wakening reality to energy challenges, the opportunities of global economics and the cultural impact of technology development are all effecting the way we use and build commercial spaces. We are taking a harder look and hopefully tangible steps toward smarter, faster, cheaper, greener, and more flexible solutions. From logistics to all other areas of commercial enterprise, the future developed with an eye for sustainability can be very cool. On the other hand, a future less discussed and more reacted to than planned could really suck. From old buildings to old neighborhoods, everything we have now has value. The real opportunity for the commercial RE entrepreneur could be with exploration of a future more tested by reusing something old for something new.
What trends do you think are most immediate (and/or most necessary) in the development of commercial space?
