   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.

6. 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. WiredScore’s Q1 2025 events: Spotlight on MIPIM and beyond

   24 April 2025 3:47 pm Comments Off on WiredScore’s Q1 2025 events: Spotlight on MIPIM and beyond

   As we wrap up the first quarter of 2025, we reflect on some of the impactful events that have strengthened our commitment to enhancing digital connectivity in real estate, particularly in our European markets.

   The events we attended in Q1 emphasized the growing importance of hybrid work and the need for tech-enabled, connected spaces in the future of real estate.

   Sustainability emerged as a central focus, with a strong emphasis on net-zero buildings and the integration of smart technology to reduce environmental impact. The role of proptech and AI in transforming workspace design and usage was also a major takeaway, reinforcing the importance of innovation in shaping the next generation of smarter, more adaptable workspaces.

   These insights will drive WiredScore’s continued commitment to creating future-ready, connected spaces.

9. KI-dentität in der Immobilienbranche

   17 April 2025 9:56 am 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“).

10. Real estate AI-dentity

    15 April 2025 11:07 am Comments Off on 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”)

11. The Growing Importance of Power in Industrial Real Estate: Lessons from Heathrow’s Recent Outage

    26 March 2025 3:43 am 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.
