Office: Physical file cabinets have been replaced by computer servers and cloud storage applications, cubicles have given way to flexible open spaces, and telecommuting and flexible hours are more accepted. These all contribute to changes in commercial and corporate space requirements, but the need to drive down costs for space dramatically exceeds the modifications made to date. Unfortunately, there is still a significant amount of underutilization of space and costly energy waste

Retail: E-commerce and omnicommerce have driven changes in distribution networks, warehouses, and shopping malls, and more advances are rapidly coming.

Industrial: New mega warehouses have been built and, while improving deliveries, demands for even faster deliveries are evolving.

Residential: The demand for housing space in urban and suburban environments is increasing heavily.

Other changes are raising the stakes even higher, such as: The expectations, habits, and desires of occupants are evolving faster than the pace of change. Business models and requirements are changing rapidly. Building and information technology advances are redefining the way people interact with buildings. Clients expect their work space to be at least as intelligent or automated as their homes, which are now taking advantage of new technologies for home security, heating, lighting, energy use, and so on.

Unfortunately, the commercial real estate market has been identified as one of the slowest industries to adopt new digital processes and technology innovations.

Reimagine Business Processes

To thrive in the digital economy, real estate companies need to
leverage technology to streamline processes and eliminate non-value-adding players

Managing the leasing process is one of the most labor-intensive processes in the commercial real estate industry. It contains many players, from marketing and sales agents to legal departments that review terms and conditions to contract specialists that abstract leases into lease management systems. New technologies (such as blockchain, machine learning, and virtual reality) offer tremendous opportunities for improvement. Imagine a world where prospective tenants review spaces on line in a VR environment where they can configure the space to their needs with simple instructions. Where they can then make an offer on the space and quickly complete a binding contract using blockchain technology that is reviewed for conformance with corporate policy and best practices by a virtual attorney powered by machine learning. This simplified digital leasing process can improve time to value and reduce overall cost
