How AI Is Quietly Taking Over Commercial Real Estate

In partnership with

Artificial Intelligence has officially entered the boardroom and now, it’s coming for the blueprint.

In 2025, CRE is no longer just about location and leverage. It’s about data, automation, and insight.

This week, we uncover how AI is quietly transforming how deals are sourced, assets are managed, and portfolios are scaled.

Predictive Leasing: The New CRE Superpower

Gone are the days of “gut-feel” leasing.

AI models now predict tenant turnover, rent optimization, and even building maintenance cycles helping landlords stay ahead of the market.

Example: Major REITs using AI-driven analytics report 12–18% fewer vacancies and 8% higher rent renewals in 2025.

Takeaway: Predictive leasing transforms CRE from reactive to proactive turning risk into data-backed decisions.

AI-Powered Property Valuation

Algorithms trained on decades of market data can now assess commercial properties in real time.

Platforms like Cherre and Reonomy combine AI with public records, demographic data, and tenant histories to estimate fair value instantly.

This means faster deal flow, fewer manual appraisals, and greater transparency for investors.

Insight: Expect AI-assisted underwriting to become standard practice by 2026.
