Key findings from the survey indicate that around 85% of real estate decision-makers expect to increase investments in technology over the next three years, with a focus on solutions that enhance tenant experience, operational efficiency, value creation, and risk management.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption is surging, especially among real estate agents, with daily usage rising from about 50% to 58% in a year. The strategic push is to extend AI use throughout transaction workflows, from discovery to closing.
Technology is increasingly leveraged to improve data analytics capabilities that support better investment insights and risk assessments. However, many firms still struggle to develop actionable tech strategies and integrate legacy systems with new digital tools.
Despite these challenges, sustainability and clean tech are significant drivers of increased tech investment, reflecting the growing importance of ESG factors in real estate investment decisions.
The survey underscores a landscape where real estate investment managers are rapidly embracing emerging technologies like AI and advanced data analytics to improve productivity, enhance risk management, and create competitive advantages. However, they also confront challenges in strategy implementation and full technology integration.
