Smart Building Platform for Global Real Estate Developer
Transforming property development and management with AI-powered design automation, IoT-enabled building intelligence, and unified portfolio analytics for a leading global real estate group.
Faster Feasibility Studies
Reduction in Design Time
Energy Savings
Our client is a leading global property and infrastructure group with over six decades of experience delivering transformative real estate and infrastructure projects. Operating across investment management, development, and construction, the organization brings an end-to-end capability that spans the full property lifecycle — from concept and planning through to delivery and long-term asset management.
With nearly $50 billion in funds under management and a multi-billion-dollar development and construction pipeline, the group recognized that traditional property management and delivery systems were no longer adequate for the complexity of modern real estate operations. Fragmented data, siloed workflows, and limited visibility across the asset lifecycle created inefficiencies and constrained performance. The client sought to create an integrated property technology platform capable of supporting the full lifecycle of its assets — from design and development feasibility through to long-term operations and property insights.
Market Opportunity
The global Property Technology (PropTech) market demonstrates substantial growth momentum, driven primarily by AI integration, cloud adoption, and sustainability requirements. The smart building market alone exceeds $117 billion with over 21% annual growth.

Industry Context & Challenges
Real estate development and building operations face chronic data silos and coordination gaps that create massive inefficiencies:
Data Fragmentation: Industry analysts estimate over $177 billion per year is wasted on construction inefficiencies like rework and hunting for data across disconnected systems
Complex Development Workflows: Multiple stakeholders (architects, engineers, contractors, regulatory bodies) using different tools and formats create coordination challenges and costly rework
Operational Inefficiencies: Property managers lack real-time visibility into performance metrics, leading to reactive management and higher operational costs
Sustainability & Compliance: Increasing regulatory requirements around ESG reporting require tracking and analyzing environmental metrics across entire portfolios
Challenges in
Property Development
Challenges
Data Fragmentation
Property data was scattered across dozens of legacy systems — from CAD files and building specifications to operational metrics and tenant information. This fragmentation made it impossible to gain holistic insights or make data-driven decisions at the portfolio level.
Complex Development Workflows
The property development process involved numerous stakeholders using different tools and formats. Coordinating design decisions, managing compliance requirements, and optimizing building configurations was a manual, error-prone process that led to costly rework and delays.
Operational Inefficiencies
Once buildings were operational, property managers lacked real-time visibility into performance metrics. Energy consumption, space utilization, maintenance requests, and tenant satisfaction were tracked through disparate systems or spreadsheets.
Sustainability & Compliance
With increasing regulatory requirements around sustainability and ESG reporting, the client needed a way to track, analyze, and report on environmental metrics across their portfolio. Manual data collection was time-consuming and prone to errors.
Legacy System Integration
Key information — 3D models, plans, sensor data, maintenance logs, and contracts — resided in separate disconnected systems. Teams lacked a single source of truth across the project lifecycle, requiring manual compilation for even basic reporting.
Our Solution
Smart Buildings Development and Management Platform
LatentSpace delivered a comprehensive, cloud-native Smart Building Platform designed to transform the full property lifecycle. Built on a software factory model, the platform combines reusable components, scalable cloud infrastructure, and AI-driven intelligence to enable rapid development and continuous improvement.
Key Technologies: Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Apache Kafka, InfluxDB, Spark, Airflow, Graph Database, Custom ML Models
Design Modeller & Structural Solver Engine automates the generation of optimized building configurations against site, zoning, and regulatory constraints while performing structural feasibility checks in real time. Feasibility studies reduced from weeks to under an hour with cost estimation and compliance checks embedded directly into design iterations.
Results & Impact
Accelerated Feasibility
Feasibility studies reduced from weeks to under 1 hour with AI-powered design automation. Multi-scenario simulation enables rapid exploration of development options, testing financial, spatial, and compliance outcomes simultaneously.
Faster Design Cycles
50% reduction in design time through automated configuration generation and real-time structural validation. Direct connectivity to supplier systems ensures designs align with Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) standards.
Energy Optimization
35% energy savings achieved through IoT-driven monitoring, predictive maintenance, and optimization algorithms. Real-time environmental monitoring enables proactive adjustments to building systems.
Enhanced Tenant Experience
Mobile-first portals and real-time occupancy analytics improved tenant satisfaction and space utilization. Tenants can manage service requests, bookings, and comfort preferences through intuitive digital interfaces.
Portfolio Visibility
Unified dashboards provide real-time insights across billions of dollars in assets. Portfolio managers can benchmark performance, predict lease renewals, and identify optimization opportunities across properties.
ESG Compliance
Automated sustainability reporting aligned with global standards enables proactive environmental management. Real-time tracking of environmental metrics supports regulatory compliance and stakeholder reporting.
