The AI transformation is taking flight, but success hinges on a clear AI strategy to guide implementation and alignment with business priorities to deliver tangible value.
Key highlights
- Corporate real estate (CRE) AI adoption transforms the industry: The percentage of corporates piloting CRE AI solutions in APAC has surged dramatically from < 5% to 92% over three years, and AI-initiatives are now top priority in real estate tech budgets.
- Business priorities drive AI pilot focus: With 65% of APAC corporates facing CRE tech budget constraints, CRE teams are strategically channeling resources to priority use cases like portfolio optimization, energy management, and data-related workflows that support C-suite business objectives.
- A systematic AI roadmap strategy supported by a skilled workforce is the cornerstone of success: Corporates with successful CRE tech programs are characterized by a more systematic and innovation-driven approach to their AI roadmap and talent development strategy respectively.
Artificial intelligence is driving a profound transformation in Asia Pacific's commercial real estate (CRE) industry. Our latest findings from the JLL Global Technology Survey 2025, which gathered insights from over 1,000 senior decision-makers globally, including 380 occupiers across key APAC markets and industries like financial services, technology, and life sciences, have found that AI has rapidly evolved from a futuristic concept into a central business imperative, transforming the entire real estate lifecycle.
