Hybrid policies in Tel Aviv have compressed total demand but increased per-sqft quality requirements — the surviving demand is institutional Class A, not Class B.

• Hybrid is a permanent design constraint, not a phase.
• Density assumptions have moved from ~120 sqft/seat to ~150–180 sqft/seat in most Class A programmes.
• Meeting-room intensity has roughly doubled vs pre-2020 baselines.
• The 'office as destination' model is now the default brief.
