I reckon corporations HQing in premier cities is akin to designer brands putting their stores in the cities (sometimes for a loss) for the cosmopolitan marketing appeal.

A lot of times companies use these moves to force out their older workers with families and replace them with fresh college grads living with 6 roommates.

If WFH completely untethers companies and employees from the same location, I think big name companies are going to increasingly set up their corporate HQs in premier global cities with favorable corporate taxes.

Plus I think they’re likely going to snag a good deal on lease space - Especially if they’re looking to move downtown.
