Technological revolution changes real estate

A total of 79 buildings were assessed in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia and Poland. All the buildings were BREEAM or LEED certified and over a quarter (25) were in Poland. The second part of the report assessed what modern applications workers expected in a modern office building and, which of them they used. When asked, which features they appreciated the most, 47 pct mentioned the personalised lighting and heating systems and 43 pct mentioned the guest arrival notification systems. A similar percentage wanted to be able to book services from outside the office compound and 39 pct wanted a parking reservation system.

“The technological revolution is changing the real estate. The last decade has been marked by billions of dollars invested in buildings that are rapidly transforming into innovative gems. Our global report shows that as many as 70 pct of investors plan to increase their spending on office technology over the coming years. Most of the investment will be concentrated on employee needs,” says Krzysztof Mogielski, the director of digital transformation at CBRE and he adds “Buildings in Warsaw are technologically advanced, but we can still see room for improvement with employees counting on modern office systems to help them in their work even more.”
