As hybrid work, Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals and rising tenant expectations reshape commercial real estate, forward-looking commercial real estate leaders must invest in smart building technologies that deliver measurable value.
Use Anchor Bridge Innovation’s checklist to evaluate which innovations offer both performance improvement and portfolio-wide ROI.
- Intelligent Building Management Systems (BMS)
Key ROI Driver: Operational Efficiency
Evaluate whether your building systems — HVAC, lighting, elevators, and energy — are integrated under a centralized, data-driven platform.
Ask: Can we reduce utility costs or carbon emissions through real-time building automation?
- Occupant Experience Platforms
Key ROI Driver: Tenant Retention
Consider platforms that offer mobile access, wayfinding, service requests, and room reservations — enhancing tenant satisfaction and loyalty.
Ask: How does our building tech contribute to lease renewals and tenant experience benchmarks?
- Predictive Maintenance & IoT Sensors
Key ROI Driver: Cost Avoidance
Deploy IoT sensors and analytics to anticipate maintenance needs and prevent costly outages.
Ask: Are we using data to replace reactive repairs with predictive, lifecycle-based asset management?
- ESG Reporting & Energy Optimization Tools
Key ROI Driver: Compliance and Marketability
Implement solutions that help track and reduce carbon impact, qualify for green certifications, and appeal to ESG-conscious investors.
Ask: Can we quantify emissions reductions — and promote them to attract capital or tenants?
- Secure Tenant Connectivity Infrastructure
Key ROI Driver: Market Differentiation
Modern tenants expect seamless, secure Wi-Fi and digital access as table stakes. Invest in structured cabling, 5G readiness, and cybersecurity.
Ask: Does our building’s connectivity meet the needs of hybrid workforces and tech-savvy tenants?
