“Blockchain and Commercial Real Estate” is first of SIOR’s Thought Leadership Series
SIOR, the leading society for industrial and office real estate professionals, announced today the release of “Blockchain and Commercial Real Estate,” a brief authored by blockchain and real estate thought leader, Avi Spielman. The article is the first of SIOR’s Thought Leadership Series.
As blockchain becomes an accepted aspect of business aspirations and common vernacular, industries must examine how this technology of today could improve or hinder everyday practices. In commercial real estate, an industry once considered inflexible, Spielman sees various areas of opportunity.
Spielman is a pioneer in the “evolution of blockchain real estate applications.” He has been invited to speak worldwide, and has published extensively on the topic, including the award-winning white paper “Blockchain: Digitally Rebuilding the Real Estate Industry.” Having received his Masters of Science in Real Estate Development from MIT, Spielman overseas realestate development and property management interests in Middle Tennessee, and is part of Centennial Retail Services, based in Nashville.
In “Blockchain and Commercial Real Estate,” Spielman provides a comprehensive explanation of what blockchain and smart contracts are before delving into specific-use cases to illustrate how these technologies might be applied to commercial real estate. He concludes by examining the broader picture of blockchain’s potential impact on commercial real estate as a whole and addressing some of the most pressing questions about the viability of these technologies.
