ORLANDO, FL—Venture capital is changing commercial real estate at an astonishing pace. GlobeSt.com recently caught up with Andrea Jang, head of growth Americas for JLL Spark, to gain insight on how venture capitalists choose what to fund, how their funding will change CRE, and how to keep pace with the changes. The topics we focused on will be part of a larger breakout session she will serve as a panelist on at the upcoming CREW Network Convention and Marketplace here in Orlando, FL.

Jang tells GlobeSt.com that valued around US $1 trillion, real estate is the largest asset class in the world, and technology entrepreneurs are still in the relatively early stages of tackling challenges within the commercial real estate industry. More and more venture capital investors are looking at proptech as an untapped investment opportunity, she says. “Three key opportunities that we are looking at currently are 1) big data and artificial intelligence, 2) sustainability as a driver of innovation, and 3) tenant experience.”
