The real estate sector is transforming at a rapid pace

A sector heavily influenced by developments in market trends, consumer habits, changing business models, technological advancements, and new investment opportunities, the usage of residential, retail, and office spaces is continually evolving.

In particular, property investors are increasingly concerned with the social impact of their assets, targeting those that have a positive Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance (ESG) effect.

All these factors are likely to impact on the future of how buildings and infrastructure are built, managed, and connected.
