Ep. 79 - Silicon Meets Site Plans: AI is Fast – But Can it Read the Room?
Tuesday, 21 July, 2026

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming one of the most talked-about tools in commercial real estate, but what does it actually mean for developers, investors, brokers, and landowners? In this episode of Dirt to Development, we explores the growing role of AI in property due diligence, land acquisition, and real estate development. Adam discusses how AI is helping real estate professionals analyze data faster, streamline due diligence, evaluate opportunities more efficiently, and make more informed investment decisions. But the conversation goes beyond the hype. He examines the limitations of AI, particularly in the areas of zoning, entitlements, community engagement, and local politics—where experience, relationships, and judgment remain critical to success. From evaluating development sites to navigating municipal approval processes, many of the most important aspects of real estate development still require a human touch.
