The Future of Real Estate and Property
Commercial, residential, and industrial real estate are being reshaped by powerful forces including technology, demographics, and shifts in work and commerce. Be prepared for the future and seize the biggest opportunities ahead.
Ross Dawson has delivered keynotes for real estate agent networks, residential, commercial and industrial developers, real estate investment funds, and property industry associations.
Keynote overview
- Property follows work. Where and how people work is the largest single determinant of what commercial space is worth, and that question is still resettling.
- Retail and logistics trade places. Space built for selling and space built for moving goods are converting into each other, at speed and in both directions.
- Smart buildings and digital twins. Buildings that report on themselves change maintenance, leasing and valuation, not just operations.
- Humans + AI in property. AI takes on valuation, matching and transaction processing, while judgment on placemaking, risk and relationships stays human.
- Climate as a pricing input. Physical and transition risk are moving from a disclosure obligation to a number inside the price.
- Cities reconfigured. More fluid populations and economies change where value concentrates, which opens positions that were not previously available.
Who it is for
Developers, real estate investment managers, agent networks, strata and property services businesses, and industry associations.
