Powerful machine learning and big data used in Commercial Real Estate

10 December 2021

How does the commercial real estate (CRE) sector currently quantify income risk? How is the availability of bigdata, coupled with the power of machine learning, allowing CRE assets and portfolios to be assessed, managed, and rated in the same way as bonds? How are CRE market participants using this newly available power? What impact has the pandemic had on CRE and what’s next for the sector?

Matthew Hopkinson speaks with Andrew Knight as they discuss how data and technology can now allow CRE income risk to be assessed and managed.
