Where strategic clarity meets financial discipline in real estate.

Axrea offers specialist advisory services to help real estate leaders invest in AI with confidence, structure, and integrity. Each service is shaped by human-centric principles and grounded in capital investment best practices because real estate decisions demand nothing less.

Strategic AI Roadmapping

Knowing where to start and where not to.

Not all AI opportunities are created equal. In real estate, the stakes can be high—whether it’s predictive maintenance for a commercial office portfolio, dynamic pricing for a residential development, or occupant analytics to enhance tenant experiences. I help organisations prioritise and sequence these initiatives based on strategic fit, financial return, and operational readiness.

Typical engagements include:

  • Identifying and qualifying high-potential use cases (e.g., vacancy forecasting, energy efficiency tracking)

  • Creating investment roadmaps tied to core property or infrastructure objectives

  • Designing phased adoption plans aligned with capability development and budget cycles

  • Working with internal teams to match ambition with delivery capacity

This service suits leadership teams who see AI’s potential in real estate but want a structured approach, one that prevents overcommitting resources without a clear plan.

AI Investment Due Diligence

Interrogating the case before you commit.

Before investing in any AI initiative—whether it’s a tenant experience platform or an advanced analytics tool for capital projects—you need a clear, defensible rationale. Real estate typically involves long-term capital commitments; it’s essential to ensure AI solutions truly align with your financial and operational goals.

I support clients by conducting structured assessments of AI business cases, focusing on:

  • ROI modelling and sensitivity analysis

  • Scenario planning (e.g., build vs. buy, small-scale pilot vs. full portfolio rollout)

  • Assumption testing for cost, capability, and expected value realisation

  • Reviewing vendor proposals and delivery claims with an objective lens

It’s not just about validating numbers—it’s about forging the strategic logic to help you move forward with confidence or step back if the case doesn’t stack up.

Financial Governance for AI

What happens after the investment matters just as much as the decision to begin.

AI projects in real estate can easily sit outside traditional capital governance structures—especially when scopes evolve or involve experimental technology. Without clear owners, accountability, and robust post-investment oversight, financial discipline can fade quickly.

I work with clients to design governance models that align AI investments with broader real estate capital oversight. This involves:

  • Defining accountability frameworks so each project has a clear “owner”

  • Designing performance metrics tailored to AI initiatives (e.g., asset performance, tenant retention, energy reduction)

  • Establishing post-investment review processes that mirror the rigour of major property developments

  • Clarifying benefit tracking and cost attribution to ensure transparency across your portfolio

This service is ideal for organisations building an internal AI portfolio or those under pressure to demonstrate tangible ROI and full transparency to boards and investors.

You won’t find a large delivery team behind Axrea. When you engage me, you work directly with an expert advisor who has two decades of real estate experience and research-level expertise in AI. That’s by design. My approach is structured, analytical, and independent. My sole focus is helping you make the right decisions, ask the right questions, and govern AI like any other serious investment.
