Transformations and Prospects for the Construction and Real Estate Sector a Global Analysis of New Investment Scenarios

The construction and real estate sector, responsible for 39% of global CO₂ emissions, is facing a reinvention driven by sustainability and technology. According to Deloitte (2025), the adoption of green building and circular economy practices will grow by 73% in the coming years, supported by regulatory demands and conscious consumers. Innovations such as BIM, AI, and modular construction are optimizing costs and timelines, while the logistics market—with vacancies below 5%—is leading post-pandemic demand, according to Savills. However, challenges persist: inflation and high interest rates have reconfigured investment strategies, shifting traditional portfolios toward real assets (30% recommended allocation), such as green infrastructure and data centers. In the US, projects supported by laws such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will drive 4.5% growth in residential construction by 2025, according to Deloitte. The climate emergency is redefining the sector: LEED-certified buildings reduce emissions by up to 34%, while AI predicts seismic risks with 90% accuracy. Markets are emerging in Asia-Pacific, where smart cities attract 45% of global real estate tech investments. The future demands agility: by 2034, 70% of commercial real estate will be in alternative assets. Technological disruption and decarbonization are not options, but rather the foundations of an industry that, despite uncertainties, is moving toward an era of radical efficiency and sustainable value.
