Proptech Collective Reveals Key Trends Shaping Canada's Proptech Ecosystem in 2025

AI, sustainable energy solutions, and smart technologies are all changing Canada's proptech landscape and are thus innovations in the real estate and construction sectors.

Recently, Proptech Collective released a report addressing significant trends influencing Canada's proptech ecosystem in 2025, namely AI and its disruptive potential in commercial real estate and construction.

Davidson identifies decarbonization and grid infrastructures as emerging trends in commercial real estate. Asset managers are focused on making energy-efficient investment decisions while optimizing their portfolios. Data centers are now some of the most important assets, with AI starting to influence these sites. Investment technology in buildings is also further improved by utilizing AI to bring efficiency in managing transaction operations.

Smart building systems in combination with IoT are changing the landscape of property management, whereas construction with sensor-based automation and predictive maintenance improves tenant experience and operational efficiency. AI has a huge role in energy efficiency, predicting energy demands using deep learning algorithms, and automating systems for enhanced sustainability.

In construction, the increase in modular and offsite construction is just one response to labor shortages, while workforce technology offers enhanced tracking for safety and productivity. With the use of innovative AI technologies, design, engineering, planning, and scheduling can also be further developed for better systems operations and risk mitigation.

The Proptech Collective report further states that AI will continue to alter commercial real estate and construction, resulting in industries without limits in terms of efficiency, sustainability, and technological innovation beyond 2025.
