Comments Off on KI-dentität in der Immobilienbranche
„Schreib mir 350 Wörter über KI in der Immobilienbranche“…
Ich hätte diesen Artikel in weniger als zehn Sekunden schreiben können – so schnell ist künstliche Intelligenz bei der Sprachverarbeitung. Aber hätte er sich dann nach mir angehört? Hätten Sie überhaupt angefangen, ihn zu lesen? Hat mein LLM-Kollege diesen Artikel vielleicht geschrieben und diesen ersten Absatz eingebaut, um das zu verbergen?
Auch wenn sie sich noch in einem relativ frühen Stadium befindet, ist der kometenhafte Aufstieg der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) im Alltag verblüffend. KI erweitert die menschlichen Fähigkeiten in Bezug auf Geschwindigkeit und Kapazität bei alltäglichen Aufgaben – und hat bereits jetzt bemerkenswerte Auswirkungen auf unser Leben im Allgemeinen und auf die Immobilienbranche im Besonderen. Allein im vergangenen Monat war ich mehrfach in Situationen, die zeigen, wie wirkungsvoll KI sein kann:
Ein Property Manager nutzte KI, um Muster in Daten zu erkennen und ein genaueres Bild der Energieeffizienz eines Gebäudes zu erhalten.
Ein Architekt beschleunigte mithilfe von KI die frühen Phasen des Entwurfsprozesses.
Mein dreijähriger Sohn fragte mich, wer „Jet Jepiti“ ist (die ehrliche Antwort wäre gewesen: „Keine Ahnung“).
I could have written this article in fewer than 10 seconds, such is the speed of artificial intelligence for language processing. But would it have sounded like me? Would you have started reading it? Did my LLM-colleague actually write it and include this first paragraph to hide this?
While still in its relative infancy, the meteoric rise in everyday use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is quite startling. Enhancing the capabilities of human speed and capacity for everyday tasks, AI is already having a remarkable impact on our lives in general and on the real estate industry specifically. In the last month alone, there are three examples I’ve personally been part of to show just how impactful AI can be:
A property manager used AI to spot patterns in data in order to get a more accurate picture of how energy-efficient a building is
An architect used AI to speed up the early stages of the design process
My three-year old son asked me who ‘Jet Jepiti’ is (the honest answer would have been “I have no idea”)
Comments Off on The Growing Importance of Power in Industrial Real Estate: Lessons from Heathrow’s Recent Outage
In recent weeks, the world was reminded of just how critical power is to the global economy. A major power outage at Heathrow Airport, one of the busiest transport hubs in the world, disrupted operations and created ripple effects across industries. While the situation at Heathrow was temporary, it was not the only power-outage story to have hit the headlines lately; Chile’s capital Santiago saw a similar situation less than a month before. Both instances have served to underscore an important reality: reliable, resilient, and sustainable power is no longer a luxury, it’s a fundamental requirement for industrial real estate.
In the realm of industrial real estate, power plays a pivotal role in shaping everything from operational efficiency to tenant satisfaction and long-term viability. Power interruptions, even brief ones, have far-reaching consequences and highlight the requirement for assets to have a seamless transition onto back-up power supply. With the global economy becoming increasingly dependent on continuous supply chains, digital systems, and advanced manufacturing, any disruption to power is a risk to productivity, profitability, and reputation.
Comments Off on Foundations of style: crafting brands in the built environment
Say the word “brand” and you’d be forgiven for thinking, “what does that have to do with real estate?”. Branding and all its connotations are so often thought of in relation to big, shiny consumer products; the latest tech; the most expensive trainers or handbags.
While we might have brand loyalty to our favourite fruit-named phones, how do we begin to translate this loyalty into the built environment?
In recent years, commercial real estate has really had to work hard to foster that sense of loyalty. The curveball that was the Covid-19 pandemic threw the sector into a state of disarray as occupiers were forced to rethink their allegiance to their office footprints and ask themselves if leasing X sq ft of space really made sense.
The result? Landlords have had to up their game.
Developing a resistant and compelling narrative around what they can offer occupiers has seen landlords lean into their creativity in order to acknowledge the important role a space has in fostering a sense of productivity and enjoyment. Now more than ever, occupiers are looking at offices asking; does this mirror the culture and experience I want to create for my company? This is a particularly salient question for growing companies who are looking at multiple spaces. They want to be confident that the standard of experience they get is replicated across a landlord’s portfolio.
So how do landlords ensure what they offer is a cut above the rest? Technology has a fundamental role to play here. Every touch point between the landlord and occupier needs to be seamless; from the onboarding process to working across multiple buildings, from monitoring occupancy level data and organising in-office events; the technological foundations of the building have to be resilient and nimble enough to support these requirements.
In the UK, Derwent, is an example of a landlord merging the physical and digital across their portfolio to better serve the end user. Their two D/L members’ spaces in Fitzrovia and Old Street, London, have a distinctive sense of design and quality that comes from the characteristics of the space. This unique sense of identity is also reflected in the technology set up that is both distinct and seamless across their whole estate. As a result, Derwent’s customers associate the Derwent brand with an extremely high specification of physical space as well as an enriching tech experience.
This integration of physical space with digital innovation creates an environment that not only meets the immediate needs of occupiers but anticipates their future requirements as well. By leveraging smart technology, such as data-driven building management systems, landlords are able to offer a highly adaptable experience that evolves with occupier preferences and business needs. Whether it’s optimizing energy use, providing seamless connectivity, or offering tailored services, the thoughtful application of technology enhances both the functionality and the atmosphere of the spaces, helping tenants thrive in a modern, agile work environment.
The result is a dynamic, responsive and trusting relationship between the landlord and its occupiers. Real-time insights into the everyday patterns of behaviour in the building mean that landlords can act faster to process and improve, creating a positive feedback loop to improve the satisfaction of building users, and therefore reinforcing their brand in a competitive landscape.
Comments Off on Shaping the future of real estate in SEA: Reflections on WiredScore’s launch in the Philippines and our vision for 2025
As I reflect on my first three months as WiredScore’s Head of Southeast Asia, I’m struck by the immense potential and appetite for change I’ve witnessed across the region. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Philippines, a country poised to redefine its commercial real estate sector through the power of resilient digital infrastructure.
Our entry into the Philippines this past November marked a pivotal milestone for WiredScore and for the country’s real estate industry. This expansion signifies more than just our growing footprint in Southeast Asia; it’s a response to the growing demand for smarter and better connected buildings that anticipate and meet the expectations of modern occupiers.
The reception from the Philippines real estate community has been nothing short of inspiring. Industry leaders are embracing the opportunity to differentiate their assets in a competitive marketplace. We’ve seen major players like NEO, Daiichi Properties, Menarco Development Corporation, Arthaland Corporation, and Araneta City take decisive action by committing their flagship buildings to WiredScore and SmartScore certifications.
These early adopters understand that superior digital connectivity is no longer a “nice-to-have” but a “must-have” for occupiers and investors alike. Buildings like Menarco Tower, Neo 5, 6 and 7 which achieved WiredScore Platinum certification, and Savya Financial Center, which earned WiredScore Gold, are setting new benchmarks for excellence. Their ambition is setting the stage for others to follow, and we’re seeing more developers express interest in certification as a key differentiator for 2025.
