PROPTECH-X : Data & Digital Infrastructure (DDI) as a Project versus Treating It as a Platform
The article argues that commercial‑real‑estate owners should treat Data & Digital Infrastructure (DDI) as a long‑term platform rather than a one‑off project.

Continuous value emerges through compounded insights, faster AI deployment, higher tenant retention, and enhanced ESG reporting. The piece concludes with a call to run a platform assessment to identify fragmentation and unlock future monetization opportunities.
