Technology is revolutionizing the way real estate is designed, operated, and valued. It is democratizing access to capital and information, changing the way tenants use space, and eroding the power of regulation. Billions of dollars are funding these new real estate technologies and operating models. Value is shifting away from the assets themselves toward those who understand the needs of specific end-users and can use technology to deliver comprehensive, on-demand solutions. With all of these developments, there is an urgent need for a resource that helps industry practitioners think differently about their investment, customers, and competition.
Rethinking Real Estate answers that call. It explores the impact of technology on all asset types - from retail projects, through lodging and residential properties, to office buildings and industrial facilities. Based on the author's two decades of experience working across four continents alongside the world's leading real estate investors, as well as hundreds of conversations with start-up founders and venture capitalists, this book provides practitioners with key insights, methodologies, and practical strategies to identify risks, take advantage of emerging opportunities, evaluate new competitors, and transform their organization, project, venture, or career.
Whether you are an investor, developer, operator, broker, lender, facility manager, designer, planner, or technology entrepreneur, this book will help you navigate the exciting period ahead.

Review quote
Rethinking Real Estate has been announced as recipient of the Gold Award of the 13th Bruss Real Estate Book Award given by The National Association of Real Estate Editors (NAREE). The award is given annually by the nation's top real estate journalists and editors, from publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Bloomberg.
From one of the judges:
"Poleg's work shows extensive research over decades of study across four continents. Chapter 20 has a particularly engaging title: 'The Liberation of Things, People, and Cities.' Each section addresses the asset in context, the forces shaping it, and how to rethink the asset... His book is organized by segments: retail, office, housing and lodging, logistics and industrial." Another judge indicated that it is an excellent, easy-to-read, yet highly technical book. This judge believes Poleg realizes his goals of writing a book that brings readers up to speed on the possible impact of technology and what will govern the industry over the next three decades - highlighting practical strategies to identify risks and take advantage of emerging opportunities."
