In reaction to Apple’s latest product launch, JLL has highlighted the trend towards smart, wearable technology penetrating the increasingly tech-savvy corporate real estate sector.
According to Lee Elliott, global lead for Corporate Occupier Research: 'The boom in wearable technology represents the next phase in a revolution shaping corporate real estate, namely the immediate need for real-time data and analytics.
Real estate owners and occupiers recognise that real estate analytics generated by smart buildings and the Internet of Things can, if addressed properly, provide rapid insight that can be used for competitive advantage. Devices such as the i-Watch, will provide further opportunities for the creative use of technology to drive operational efficiency, corporate productivity and real estate strategy.'
JLL is working to put itself at the foresight of this trend. In its recent data-centric CRE report the property adviser explored how data-driven CRE will transform the productivity and profitability of the organisations that embrace it.
At MIPIM in March 2014, JLL hosted live demonstrations on how Google Glass might be used in commercial real estate in their beachfront marquee.
