2025-Innovators in Commercial Real Estate-Joe DiPompeo of Structural Workshop

Impact Highlight: Describe a recent program, initiative, or process implemented by you and the impact on your firm, organization, or community. We recently decided to go all in on AI. I have been playing with it for two years but it was not really useful until recently. The models have gotten better and I have gotten better at using them and knowing their limits. I am currently experimenting with many uses and am hoping to rollout to the whole team in the next few months.

Innovative Outlook: Where do you see the biggest opportunities for innovation in the commercial real estate sector? Building construction is notoriously slow in innovating. There is a huge gap in the progress we have made in many fields and the small amount of change in how buildings are built . We have made incremental improvements but the basics have not changed at all. 3-D printing of buildings and building components and integrating AI into BIM have potential to increase the pace of innovation in building construction.
