Comments Off on Resilience Gets Real: Inside the Global Cities Resilience Index
In an era defined by climate volatility, digital dependency and escalating cyber threats, resilience is no longer a secondary consideration for global cities. It is a defining measure of competitiveness. The WiredScore Global Cities Resilience Index, introduced in Insights 2026, moves beyond policy ambition and infrastructure headlines to examine what truly matters: how resilient buildings actually perform on the ground
Comments Off on Cybersecurity holds a prominent place in conversations at NexusCon 2025
Last month, WiredScore attended and presented at NexusCon in Denver, Colorado. The conference brought together professionals across smart building technology and operational technology, creating space for meaningful conversations about data, AI, and the future of smart buildings.
Across the sessions and side conversations, one theme remained prominent: cybersecurity. Here are our thoughts on how the industry is responding to this rapidly escalating challenge.
Comments Off on Cyber, connectivity and AI adoption: what six months in the industrial sector has taught us
Six months on from WiredScore’s launch into the industrial sector, the market context is continuing to shift. Investment volumes are climbing, occupier demand is resilient, and landlords are having to think differently about how their assets perform.
Knight Frank’s latest research shows £1.4 billion of transactions in Q3, marking the third straight quarter of year-on-year improvement. Take-up for larger units hit 10 million sq ft in Q2, the highest since 2022, pushing H1 totals to just over 18 million sq ft. At the same time, vacancy has crept up to 7.7%, the highest level in 11 years, and average industrial rents have risen 4.8% year-on-year, with forecasters revising growth expectations for 2025 upwards.
In other words, activity is strong, but competition is intensifying. As more space comes onto the market, digital performance, resilience and future-readiness are increasingly what set buildings apart. Through our certification work and conversations with clients, six clear lessons have emerged that show where the sector is moving, and where the gaps still lie.
Comments Off on How to future-proof industrial real estate: 5 actions for Asset Managers
Smooth operations are the heart of every logistics facility, so it’s no wonder that industrial occupiers are becoming more risk-averse when selecting operational hubs. Resilient infrastructure is essential for industrial occupiers, as any delays or downtime can directly affect profitability. Across global markets, expectations are rising, and the data is clear: demand for robust, scalable, and resilient connectivity is accelerating.
WiredScore recently partnered with Analytiqa to conduct global research into the importance of digital connectivity for industrial assets, surveying decision-makers across logistics, retail, e-commerce, and light industrial sectors. The findings are striking: 9 in 10 occupiers believe high-quality digital infrastructure is essential or very important to their operations. Yet 70% experienced delays or inefficiencies due to poor connectivity in the past year. More than half are willing to pay a premium of up to 10% for spaces that meet these digital standards.
So how can asset owners respond and position themselves for success today? Here are five foundational actions you can take now to future-proof your industrial assets and deliver on tenant expectations.
