The Data
Latest Rates
Average Asking Rental Rate % Change for Primary Markets
Source: CBRE Research, CBRE Data Center Solutions, 2023. *Rental rates are quoted for 250-500 kW.
Due to a combination of high demand and limited supply, data center prices are growing. Prices for data centers with 250–500 kilowatts (kW) of electrical capacity are expected to rise by 16% in 2023.
In 2024, we anticipate another price increase of 10% to 15%. Strong demand in all markets and continuous supply restrictions are the reasons for the growth.
While operators may provide lower leasing rates for older, empty data centers, high-power AI workloads will not be eligible for this discount.

The Knowledge
Embracing AI in Real Estate
As real estate evolves, artificial intelligence is emerging as a key driver of change. AI is revolutionizing our industry by enhancing decision-making, improving customer experiences, and optimizing property management.
The sooner you start catching on, the better you will be in the future...
Improved Data Analysis For Better Investing Potential
Now, machine learning allows for real-time analysis and forecasting. This capability is crucial in a fast-paced market where quick decisions are necessary.
Machine learning can analyze demographic data to spot trends and predict future demand for office, retail, or industrial spaces.
AI is a powerful tool for data aggregation, identifying potential value-add targets within a given market by analyzing vast and fragmented data sets. For instance, AI can pinpoint markets with significant potential for future rent growth or identify mismanaged or energy-inefficient properties, offering valuable insights for strategic investment.
Accelerating Financial and Loan Analysis
AI will revolutionize financial modeling in commercial real estate. Previously, financial modeling was a manual and time-consuming process.
Machine learning now enables the automatic generation of financial models, enhancing speed and accuracy.
By training algorithms on historical data, AI can create customized models for individual projects. This approach allows investors to make better-informed decisions and developers to secure financing more efficiently.
Custom financial models provide a clearer understanding of the risks and rewards associated with specific projects.
Elevating Customer Experience
AI has the potential to significantly improve the customer experience in commercial real estate. Chatbots, powered by Natural Language Processing, can handle tenant inquiries, provide recommendations, and schedule appointments.
Additionally, virtual reality (VR) offers a way for potential tenants to explore properties remotely. AI can also generate accurate 3D models from 2D images, giving a detailed view of properties from multiple angles, which helps in making informed leasing decisions.
On the CRE (Commercial Real Estate) side AI enhances investor personalization by offering tailored recommendations to both tenants and investors based on their unique preferences, budgets, and location requirements.
Generative AI further enriches this experience by providing a chat-based platform, enabling individuals to engage in informed conversations and make more confident decisions.
Property Management
As an investor property management can be both difficult and stressful at times. AI can enhance investor personalization by delivering tailored recommendations to tenants and investors based on specific demographics and budgets.
These tools can serve as a sense of community with an interactive platform, allowing users to engage in detailed conversation and overall well-informed decisions with upright confidence.
The Internet of Things (IoT) introduces efficiency in property management through interconnected sensors and devices, such as enhancing security by detecting unauthorized access and alerting authorities. The integration of IoT can streamline operations and improve the overall management of commercial properties.
How can you start implementing AI today?
Other than Chat GPT here are a few ways to start incorporating AI in your real estate investment strategy.
Workfit: AI assistant records meetings, arranges follow-ups, and updates CRM systems, reducing delays and ensuring all tasks are tracked.
Leverton: Uses deep learning to accurately extract data from documents, minimizing errors and saving time during the property development process.
Dynamics 365 AI Solutions: A virtual agent that handles customer queries, freeing up real estate agents to focus on more critical tasks.
IKEA Place: Combines AI and augmented reality to visualize furniture in homes, helping property developers showcase furnished spaces to clients.
1aim: Monitors and optimizes workspace usage, assisting in designing more efficient commercial properties.
BioConnect: Utilizes biometric data for building security, ensuring only authorized individuals have access and enhancing property safety.
Challenges of Implementing AI
While AI is revolutionizing the real estate industry, its implementation comes with certain challenges that organizations often face.
AI will struggle with the grasp of every aspect of real estate investment decision-making. Unlike humans who possess experience and intuition, AI will miss out on the neighborhood dynamics that play a crucial role in property markets.
Local market conditions, zoning regulations, and specific property attributes can significantly impact investment decisions. AI may not fully capture these complexities, which are crucial for accurate and informed decision-making.
