Boston Fed President Warns of Co-Working Risks to Property Market

In an interview, Boston Fed President Eric Rosengren highlighted a potential misalignment in the property market. He noted that landlords are offering long-term leases to co-working firms, which then spend money to build out the space and rent it on a short-term basis.
