This is already happening near the shop I work at. Four office buildings and a giant courtyard are basically completely empty and abandoned. The adjacent parking structure is as well and has been for a long time but the old corporate logos from companies that pulled out three years ago are still hanging in some places.
the conglomerate landlord has doubled down on some sort of bizarre Potemkin village strategy to ensure investors dont pull out. muzak in the courtyard is turned up to blaring at all hours of the day, a cleaning staff roams around a few times a week as well but with no trash, they just sit at the tables and check their phones for a few hours. Security guards are staffing the buildings but the doors are always locked. The office for the parking garage is completely empty, no chairs at the desks or anything.
