   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.

   Since the start of our journey 12 years ago in North America, we’ve worked with over 500 of the biggest landlords, certifying over 770m sq ft of space across the office and residential sectors. 

   Now we are bringing WiredScore to the industrial and logistics sector, where we are working with a number of landlords including Prologis and Trammell Crow Holdings to bring our global technology standard to these spaces. 

   Hear from John Meko about what this means for the real estate industry in North America.

   From Hong Kong to Warsaw, Leeds to Cairo, Q2 saw WiredScore stepping onto global stages, joining conversations that are shaping the future of real estate. With a growing presence in new markets and deeper engagement with developers, occupiers and policymakers, WiredScore continues to demonstrate the value of digital connectivity and smart technology across the built environment.

   Whether launching new certifications, moderating industry-defining panels or connecting with top landlords and investors, our team has been at the heart of the conversations that matter most.

   Here’s a look at the trends, insights and outcomes that stood out.

5. Why digital connectivity is mission-critical in industrial real estate

   2 July 2025 1:00 am Comments Off on Why digital connectivity is mission-critical in industrial real estate

   The industrial and logistics sector is facing a digital reckoning; once viewed as a secondary concern, technology in industrial real estate has now become mission-critical. Recent research WiredScore conducted with Analytiqa reveals the reality: 90% of businesses say their operations depend on reliable digital connectivity, and 70% have experienced costly delays due to poor infrastructure in the past year.

7. Real estate reborn

   11 June 2025 6:51 am Comments Off on Real estate reborn

   With uncertainty comes opportunity, and plenty of it in the case of the US. Against a backdrop of socio-political turbulence, the real estate industry has been battling continued headwinds with return to office numbers lagging expectations and restrictive monetary policies further increasing the pressure on landlords and developers.

   This hostile environment has seen the majority of investors take a more risk-averse, defensive stance, looking to reduce costs where possible rather than committing capex to anything other than what is mission critical in the short term.

8. 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“).

9. Real estate AI-dentity

   “Write me 350 words on AI in real estate”… 

    

   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”)
