This report was authored and published by Building Engines in January 2022. They partnered with BOMA (Building Owners and Managers Association International) to survey commercial property professionals about the state of CRE (commercial real estate) today, and their intentions and expectations for 2022. The survey results suggest an optimistic outlook for the commercial real estate industry in the year ahead. 93 percent of the CRE professionals we surveyed said their property portfolio had stayed the same or gotten bigger in 2021. And 98 percent of them expected their investment in CRE software to stay the same or increase in 2022. Property teams are increasingly aware of the carbon footprint of commercial buildings. They are taking action to address this, with 71 percent of survey respondents prioritizing energy efficiency for 2022. And they are conscious of a change in tenant expectations, with 63 percent of respondents looking to address health, wellness, and air quality in their buildings.
