Technology is playing a major role in reshaping Asia’s real estate industry as the region prepares to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the results of the third edition of our tech survey, with developers and investors reaching for new tools to protect their businesses and achieve sustainability goals in the wake of unprecedented disruption.
In the poll conducted by Mingtiandi and Yardi in July of this year, 62 percent of respondents indicated that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant or major impact on plans for their own workplaces. Potentially indicating a greater impact is that, among the 72 percent of respondents who manage property assets, 58 percent saw the pandemic as having a significant or major impact on their plans for their portfolios.
