I wonder how the math works for the financial aspect of this. Building an office is an investment in the sense of it being good for your staff to go there and work well yadayada. It's probably also an investment in the sense of the value of the land and the surrounding areas which the probably own a chunk of too. Kinda like how McDonald's is more a real estate company that is good at finding renters (aka the people who run the fast food joints).

I've been interested in learning more about the financialization of housing lately and this isn't exactly the same but it feels similar.

Most companies rent their offices, they are not in the real estate business
