Back to EpisodesAI's Impact on Commercial Real Estate and Office Space Demand
Description
Artificial intelligence is starting to rattle another major industry — commercial real estate.
In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down why shares of major brokerage firms like CBRE, JLL, Cushman & Wakefield, and Newmark recently fell despite strong earnings.

Kathy explains what executives are saying, where AI may have the biggest impact first, and what real estate investors should be watching next.
Is this short-term market fear — or the beginning of a structural shift in commercial real estate?
