Commercial real estate is in the midst of a technology revolution. Need proof? Just look at all of the tech startups that have had success in the industry over the last few years.
Market data providers like Compstak have carved out a big niche by putting commercial real estate data at professionals’ fingertips. Companies like Convene and WeWork have grown exponentially by giving their clients flexible office and meeting space. And landlords and brokers have onboarded over 6 billion square feet of space onto the VTS platform to streamline their leasing and asset management processes. The list goes on and on.
Technology isn’t just making commercial real estate more efficient; it’s changing tenant expectations. Meeting those new expectations will allow industry players to thrive. To get there, commercial real estate professionals need to adopt a user experience mindset – not just landlords, but brokers too.
