Sansone Group - Industry Updates

Industry Update October 22, 2025 update

The numbers tell you everything you need to know. 81% of developers now prioritize data and AI spending, according to research published this year. This is the same industry that spent decades clinging to paper processes and Excel spreadsheets.

Morgan Stanley pegs 37% of CRE tasks as automatable today. Not tomorrow. Today.

What’s actually happening right now

Arbio raised €31M in October 2025 after automating 95% of property management workflows across 1,200+ commercial assets. Digital twins monitor buildings in real time. IoT sensors track energy consumption and predict equipment failures before they cause downtime. Blockchain integration enables near-instant property appraisals based on live data.

Samsung C&T built Bynd, a chat-based AI platform that handles meeting room bookings, parking management, and guest registration. Their parent company set a target of 90% AI integration across all business operations by 2030. They’re training every employee through a four-level GenAI Power User Program. Samsung Gauss2 processes text, images, audio, and video simultaneously.

The AI real estate market grows at 26.6% annually through 2031. Over 700 companies now provide AI-powered real estate tech solutions. JLL reports 89% of C-suite leaders believe AI can solve major CRE challenges.

Where the money goes

51% of CRE executives plan AI investments to digitize processes, per Deloitte’s 2025 research. They’re not throwing money at experimental tech. Predictive maintenance now forecasts equipment failures, cutting emergency repair costs. Natural language processing slashes lease analysis time across multi-asset portfolios. Automated valuation models deliver instant, unbiased property appraisals.

Companies using AI cut dataset analysis time drastically, freeing professionals for client relationships and strategic work. Faster capital deployment means competitive advantage in deal speed. You lose deals when competitors move faster.

The pressure builds

Samsung demonstrates what full commitment looks like. They developed Galaxy AI features focused on workplace efficiency and data security. Their Samsung Gauss Portal handles document summarization, translation services, and email composition. Every business unit gets measured on AI adoption.

You’re competing against firms that analyze properties in minutes instead of weeks. Against teams that predict maintenance issues before buildings report problems. Against organizations that automate 95% of workflows you still handle manually.

PropTech ecosystem research from JLL shows AI companies now occupy 2.04 million square meters of commercial space globally. They’re not just selling you tools. They’re your tenants, expanding into your buildings while transforming your business model.

Implementation paths

Start with property management automation. Maintenance scheduling, lease administration, tenant communication. Research shows measurable ROI in these areas. Energy management through smart sensors pays for itself in reduced utility costs. Predictive analytics spot revenue opportunities in pricing and occupancy optimization.

Real-time IoT integration creates feedback loops between physical assets and digital systems. Buildings communicate their own needs. Systems adjust automatically to occupancy patterns, weather changes, and usage spikes.

The transformation isn’t coming. It landed. Your competitors already moved. Samsung targets 90% integration by 2030, five years out. They started years ago. Where does that put you?

The question is no longer whether AI matters in commercial real estate. Now you’re just deciding how far behind you’ll fall.
