Oh skyscrapers, those gigantic man-made mountains piercing the cloud heavens. With their alluring sparkles and glamorous facades, they’ve always been the ‘tall, dark, and handsome’ of real estate. But it seems they’ve been getting a tech-transformation recently. Is it me, or has building tech become the ‘nerdy sidekick’ turned ‘unexpected hero’? We thought moving vertically was a challenge until the smart elevator systems said, ‘hold my beer’. Real estate’s very own Iron Man, aka Proptech, is stealthily building up a sustainable universe. Sure, it takes a sack of gold coins to kick-start the party, but hey, no good superhero story comes cheap, right?
