The reality of what is possible for commercial real estate has been forever altered as cutting-edge solutions are continuously being introduced. The winners and the losers are being separated by those who are adapting and leveraging these advancements, and those who are not.

The Pandemic Drove Technology and Innovation

Covid was an accelerant for innovation, resulting in a decade's worth of technological advancements condensed to a year. The industry had to embrace new technologies, solutions and platforms if it intended to thrive in the post-Covid world.
