Kastle’s Back to Work Barometer The Falls Church-based Kastle Security, a national building security firm, is using swipe data to estimate the number of workers who return to their offices in 10 U.S. cities. This “Back to Work Barometer” survey is being used by city development authorities and companies. While some cities see a move back to offices, it is clear that many downtown areas are upping their game to make downtown more of a destination. This involves upgrading older office buildings and adding amenities. The DC area reflects a 36 percent move back to offices with a 40 percent average in the survey. Nationally, there is a much stronger return to in-person activities: NBA games at 93.8 percent, TSA checkpoints 84.1 percent, movie box office 81.1 percent and Open Table Diners 80.9%.
