Artificial Intelligence: Real Estate Revolution or Evolution?

As the capabilities of AI agents continue to astonish the world in 2025, AI is becoming increasingly powerful.
 

• AI has enormous potential to reshape real estate, with near and long-term impacts ranging from the emergence of new markets and asset types to innovations in investment and revenue models.
• A rapidly expanding AI ecosystem and its supporting infrastructure will drive demand for real estate in different markets across the globe.
• There are increasing number of AI-powered real estate technology solutions. Organizations will need to consider how they can harness AI strategically and ethically, piloting applications before scaling to deliver value.

The potential for artificial intelligence (AI) to transform businesses, industries and society has been mounting for decades. But recent advancements, have moved the science from niche to mainstream. The technology’s proficiency in writing, drawing, coding and composing has compelled corporate leaders to consider both the opportunities and threats that AI presents for their future.

For commercial real estate, it’s clear that strategically embracing AI could transform the sector. JLL’s latest Global Future of Work survey published in Jan 2025 confirms that AI is already being actively implemented in the business world. More than nine in ten C-suite leaders believe AI will change the way the workforce operates over the next five years. A similar proportion plans to accelerate investment in AI over that period. 

Yet, the survey also shows a lack of thorough understanding of the technology, it’s impact and a systematic approach to its implementation.
