Fifth Wall’s Brendan Wallace and CBRE’s Connor Hall explore innovation in commercial real estate, from flexible workspaces to AI-driven investment strategies.

Share these insights on proptech investing:

· Investing in PropTech, like all venture capital investments – is high risk and high reward. Investors typically underwrite 40%+ internal rates of return (IRRs), betting that a few transformative companies succeed and compensate for those that fail.

· Investing in PropTech provides early access to innovations that enhance asset performance, reduce costs and create competitive differentiation.

· Artificial intelligence is expected to improve underwriting, asset selection and risk modeling for real estate investors. Those that adopt AI-driven tools early may gain a significant edge.

· The initial public offering (IPO) market has slowed, but standout exits like ServiceTitan show that public capital is still available for top-tier companies. Investors in private companies should be prepared for longer holding periods prior to exits.

· The most investable PropTech companies are those that solve challenges for real estate in operations, capital markets, risk management and elsewhere. Deep industry knowledge is key to identifying winners.
