The AI Revolution in Commercial Real Estate

Artificial Intelligence has officially moved past being a buzzword. In commercial real estate, it’s already redefining how properties are analyzed, managed, and positioned in the market.

The most immediate transformation is in efficiency. Studies show that AI can automate nearly 40% of repetitive tasks in the real estate sector. Some companies, like Henry.ai are working towards 100% automation of property underwriting. This can translate into billions of dollars in potential cost savings by the next decade (Morgan Stanley). That kind of shift could enable brokers to spend more time on strategy, relationships, and growth.

Smarter Valuations and Market Forecasting

AI is also changing how valuations and market predictions are made. Instead of relying solely on historical comps or manual spreadsheets, predictive algorithms are drawing from live data to anticipate rental trends, absorption rates, and even tenant turnover. These insights can help investors and owners make faster, smarter decisions in increasingly volatile markets (Blooma).

New Demand for CRE Assets

Beyond valuations, AI is creating new demand drivers. The surge in data centers, smart buildings, and AI-driven logistics hubs is reshaping the property mix. Entire asset classes are being influenced by the technology itself, proving that AI isn’t just a tool for CRE professionals but it a catalyst for new development opportunities (Northspyre).

Transactions Moving at AI Speed

On the transactional side, automation is already embedded. AI-powered platforms can review contracts, flag compliance issues, and streamline due diligence at speeds no human team could match. This reduces errors, accelerates timelines, and builds confidence in complex deals.

Shaping the Future of CRE

AI is already rewriting how commercial real estate operates across the board. Firms that embrace it now are not only reducing costs but also positioning themselves to capture new market opportunities driven by data and automation.

Eve’s Hot Take

AI isn’t coming for your job, it’s coming for your inefficiencies. In CRE, the winners will be the ones who adopt, adapt, and outpace. AI can’t replace creativity, it can only follow orders. Agents and CRE professionals need to oversee any AI produced information. AI can’t tell us how much a property is worth or what the best & highest use is - yet. For now it can only regurgitate what has been done before. At Eve Capital, we believe AI is a productivity tool, but it doesn’t have the creative advantage that Agents and CRE professionals need to discover opportunities others miss.
