CRE Standouts

The annual Realcomm ׀ IBCon conferences recognize real estate companies, projects, technologies and people for excellence in automation, technical innovation and intelligent building projects.

Outstanding contributors over the past year received Commercial Real Estate Digital Innovation Awards, known as Digies, at the most recent Realcomm ׀ IBCon conferences in Nashville, Tenn. Digies are among the highest recognition available in the commercial real estate industry.

One Digie winner was Australian property manager and investor Dexus, which, as described by Realcomm, “created an elite partnership with Yardi, effectively leveraging all modules of the Yardi suite to maximize enterprise cost/benefit.” Another Digie winner, Santa Monica, Calif. retail owner, operator and developer Macerich, incorporated Yardi solutions into its smart building management system.

Yardi salutes all client organizations that received Digie awards this year, including:

  • Cushman & Wakefield: Recognized early the role commercial real estate service providers can play in accelerating PropTech startups in real estate and construction technology. Shows ongoing commitment to exploring innovative strategies while working with large, progressive corporate clients.
  • Prologis: Established a 15,000-square-foot industrial innovation center in San Leandro, Calif., for testing emerging technologies. Created a virtual data lake and migrated the in-house data warehouse into the cloud. Developed a customer experience platform that connects clients with services and products they need to run their Prologis logistics space efficiently.
  • Boxer Property: Introduced AI into the company in multiple areas. Made innovative use of natural language processing for resume reviews and work order management. Optimized real estate operations with Blockchain technology implementation.
  • Brookfield Properties: Built an integrated, automated and responsive cloud analytics and BI platform to extract and integrate data from various transactional systems, IoT devices and third-party data sources.
