AI is everywhere in commercial real estate. Impact isn’t. This independent survey of 103 institutional CRE investors reveals the gap between AI deployment and measurable returns, why data infrastructure limits results, and the verification tax firms are paying.
Institutional CRE investors surveyed
Actively using AI in their investment process
$1B+ AUM
97% of respondents have integrated AI into their investment process. No single outcome has improved for more than 36%. Nearly every firm has the tools. Far fewer have seen returns.
100% of CRE investment teams verify AI outputs, meaning AI has created a new layer of manual work. 41% say AI makes work slower.
Not all AI use cases are created equal. Firms trust AI to read documents, but not to value deals. The closer a task gets to a real investment decision, the less teams trust the outputs.
83% of firms rate their data as AI-ready. 90% say data is limiting AI’s impact. The industry’s biggest constraint is the one most firms believe they’ve already solved.
