From Ideas to Action

Intelligent buildings are now pivotal in reshaping today’s real estate sector. Earlier this year we published the paper Intelligent Buildings: Revolutionizing the global real estate market for the next generation. Since then, we’ve heard from owners, operators and occupants worldwide that they are actively working through decisions on where to invest in buildings, what brings employees back to the office, and what services in the offices will generate the best ROI. We’ve spoken to dozens of vendors who are ready to move and get started on building out additional ecosystems and partnerships to bring more connectivity and efficiency to the office space and multi-use environments. It’s clear there is no silver bullet solution, but we can still get a head start on the process by acting now. This shift is being driven by the imperatives of efficiency, sustainability, and enhanced user experience. The rise of intelligent buildings has spurred a paradigm shift in innovation, from real estate markets to talent and recruiting to technology roadmaps. Our group of industry leaders continues to discuss the themes and trends and has developed a framework to help navigate these constantly changing times. We look forward to continuing the conversation.
