🔑 Five Trends Defining the Quarter

Across continents, asset classes and stakeholder groups, a set of common themes continued to emerge:

1. Connectivity is Non-Negotiable

Tenants expect resilient digital infrastructure—full stop. WiredScore’s certifications are now seen as the gold standard for ensuring future-ready spaces.

2. Smart Buildings, Real Returns

Developers who invest in smart tech are reaping rewards. From HK to London, landlords shared evidence that WiredScore-certified buildings command higher rents and deliver better tenant experiences.

3. Sustainability Must Be Measurable

Certifications aren’t just badges—they’re strategic tools to meet and prove progress against ESG targets. The call for data-driven decarbonisation is growing louder.

4. Industrial is Going Digital

Logistics and industrial spaces are catching up fast. From Poland to the UK, interest in digitally enabled sheds is booming – with WiredScore helping set the benchmark.

5. Education and Collaboration Drive Progress

Whether it’s educating tenants on tech, aligning stakeholders around certifications or sharing best practice, change management is emerging as a vital ingredient for long-term success.
