Transform with Technology – shaping the future of real estate

The pandemic has provided us with an unparalleled opportunity, even a necessity, to rethink the built environment. The technologies that are now available – and others in the process of being developed – are set to radically reshape how we construct, interact with and use buildings.
As the real estate industry rises to the challenge of delivering a significantly decarbonized built environment, technology is likely to be the single biggest catalyst for green progress.
Technology will also be essential as we seek to better manage space and its impact on people. Now more than ever, the health and well-being of the workforce are paramount to business success. The new workplace, aided by technology, calls for more effective and dynamic use of space.
Technology applications across the built environment:

• building level (sustainable buildings and places)

• portfolio level (healthy places and portfolios)

• design and construction

• property & facilities operations
