What does “AI adoption” really mean in an industry this complex? On the latest episode of Real Estate Meets AI, Ernie Massei and Carrie Denning Jackson of Jamestown explore why progress across the industry is still mixed. While some firms have dedicated tech teams and clear strategies in place, others are still navigating what adoption looks like within the context of their size, structure, and goals. Backend tools, compliance, and the complexity of physical assets all play a role in how fast teams can move. Both guests agree: excitement is high, but there's still a long way to go.

What if senior living design could boost ROI while still delivering optimal comfort and care? With cove’s AI-driven, full-service architecture, our team utilized our proprietary AI (Vitras▪️ ai) to help merge human-centered design with data-driven precision at Atlanta Street Senior Living in Marietta, GA.

Here’s how: 💡 AI-driven modeling reduced design revisions and accelerated approvals. 🏗️ Optimized layouts improved staff efficiency and lowered operational costs. 🌿 Data-informed design enhanced resident wellbeing and long-term building performance. 📈 Future-proof flexibility ensures assets adapt as care levels change. The result? A senior living community that feels like home — and performs like a smart investment.

Inflation. Labor Shortages. Sector Growth? Oh my...😯 Here's what The American Institute of Architects (AIA) recent Billings Index tell us ⬇️ Ed Akins II, AIA, Principal Architect at cove, unpacks the latest AIA ABI alongside insights from Ed Zarenski and Construction Dive to reveal where momentum is building, and where headwinds remain: 📉 Institutional projects fell sharply to their lowest point since 2020 🏢 Commercial and industrial sectors posted their first modest growth in nearly three years 🏘 Multifamily billings steadied after months of decline 💡 Data centers are surging and are expected to keep climbing ⚠️ Tariffs and labor shortages are straining construction costs and timelines Even as inflation and borrowing costs weigh on confidence, firms are adapting—exploring mergers, strengthening client ties, and finding opportunities in emerging markets like AI-driven infrastructure.

"We regulated [micro-unit housing] out of existence." — Patrick Chopson, AIA, Co-Founder and Principal Architect at cove. In The Builder's Daily feature — “From 16 to 52: AI And Atlanta Zoning Power A Micro-Moment” — Patrick Chopson and Stan Sugarman of Stryant Construction share how AI-powered architecture and by-right zoning transformed a 16-unit concept into 52 attainable micro-apartments in Atlanta’s Kirkwood neighborhood. With cove’s Vitras🔹ai, the design team analyzed zoning constraints and optimized every square foot to unlock a missing-middle solution — affordable, livable spaces built faster and smarter. This project shows what’s possible when technology, design, and policy align — supporting the goal of Mayor Andre Dickens of creating or preserving 20,000 affordable units by 2030 and redefining how cities like the City of Atlanta approach housing.

“I'd love for the industry to over-index on building a better built environment...” For global PropTech strategist Antony Slumbers, great design is just as important as financial returns. As AI reshapes our industry, he emphasizes that keeping design at the heart of real estate means we need to guide how this technology is applied. Used thoughtfully, AI can democratize access to better buildings and ensure that high-quality design isn’t reserved for a few, but available to all. As Slumbers puts it: “Everyone should be able to have great design.” 🎧 Listen to the full episode of Real Estate Meets AI wherever you get your podcasts. #RealEstateMeetsAI #PropTech #CRETech #FutureOfWork #CommercialRealEstate #OfficeStrategy #SpaceAsAService #WorkplaceInnovation #RealEstateTransformation #DigitalTransformation #RealEstateTech #AIandRealEstate #AI

Hot Take? Offices can no longer survive on need alone. On the latest episode of Real Estate Meets AI, global PropTech strategist Antony Slumbers draws a sharp comparison: today’s office sector is facing the same wake-up call retail had 20 years ago when e-commerce took off. Success isn’t about providing space because people have to use it. It’s about creating places people want to use -- spaces that attract talent, impress clients, and outperform the home office. Are most office strategies built for want, or still stuck in the era of need? Share your take in the comments 👇 And listen to the full conversation with Antony wherever you get your podcasts. 🔊 Spotify: https://hubs.ly/Q03LD7W50 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://hubs.ly/Q03LD94_0 📺 YouTube: https://hubs.ly/Q03LDfcy0 #RealEstateMeetsAI #PropTech #CRETech #FutureOfWork #CommercialRealEstate #OfficeStrategy #SpaceAsAService #WorkplaceInnovation #RealEstateTransformation #DigitalTransformation #RealEstateTech #AIandRealEstate #AI
