I think the biggest trend in CRE, there's
-
been a lot of talk of the specific
-
things that are happening from COVID, but
-
I think when you take a step back and look
-
at what COVID has done, is with the tech
-
acceleration we've seen significant
-
adoption of lots of different building technologies.
-
A report recently said
-
there have been 1.7 billion devices added
-
to commercial properties over the last
-
several years. At HqO, we fundamentally
-
believe that commercial real estate
-
buildings are the next great computing
-
platform. So you have the PCs in the 90's,
-
you had mobile in the teens, and now as
-
properties become technology-enabled,
-
physical hardware, they are the next
-
great computing platform and there's going
-
to be a whole wave of wave of new
-
technologies that are built on top of the
-
built environment that we think it's
-
really really exciting.
