Commercial tenants expect more than just a basic functional space from property in 2025. They want comfort, flexibility, and personalised experiences. To meet these expectations, landlords and property managers are increasingly turning to artificial intelligence (AI). From smart buildings that respond to occupant needs to data-led insights that drive tenant engagement, AI is helping shape the future of property management.

Here’s how AI is enhancing personalised tenant experiences across the UK commercial property sector:

Smarter Building Management

Comfort and sustainability are top priorities for modern tenants—and AI helps deliver both.

 

• Optimised energy use: AI systems automatically adjust lighting, heating, and cooling based on occupancy and preferences which can cut energy costs.
• Predictive maintenance: Using sensors and AI, buildings can anticipate maintenance needs, reducing disruptions. UK firms report cost savings and less downtime from AI-based predictive maintenance.
• Performance improvement: At an office in London, Royal London Asset Management saw a 708% ROI and 59% energy savings after deploying AI systems—cutting carbon emissions by up to 500 metric tonnes annually.

 

 

Understanding Tenant Behaviour

To personalise service, you first need to understand your tenant’s needs—and that’s where AI excels.

• Data-led insights: From occupancy sensors to access data, AI helps identify how tenants interact with their environment.
• Customised services: Whether it’s tailored cleaning schedules or curated events, AI enables service delivery based on real tenant usage and preferences.

 

 

Personalised Communication

AI improves communication between landlords and tenants, making it more immediate and relevant.

• 24/7 support: AI-powered virtual assistants can manage bookings, respond to queries, and log service requests at any hour.
• Tailored messaging: Tenants receive alerts, updates, and event invites that are specifically relevant to their industry, usage patterns, or concerns.

 

 

Enhancing the Leasing Journey

Finding and leasing space should be as personalised as occupying it.

• Smart recommendations: AI suggests available spaces based on tenant size, industry, and growth patterns.
• Interactive virtual tours: AI adapts the tour experience in real-time, focusing on what the prospective tenant engages with most.

 

 

Custom Tenant Portals

A dedicated portal enhances convenience and transparency for tenants.

• Live dashboards: Provide data on lease terms, energy use, and meeting room availability.
• Efficient requests: AI triages and prioritises maintenance issues, ensuring a fast and appropriate response.

 

 

Building a Connected Community

AI supports community-building, which is increasingly valued by tenants.

• Networking tools: Suggest connections or collaboration opportunities based on industry or shared interests.
• Sentiment tracking: Analyse feedback, emotional tone and engagement levels to anticipate and respond to tenant concerns.

 

 

Smarter Retention Strategies

AI helps landlords retain tenants by identifying risks early and adapting accordingly.

• Predictive modelling: Flag tenants at risk of leaving and offer incentives or adjustments proactively.
• Flexible leasing: Use AI to simulate scenarios and propose lease structures that better align with evolving tenant needs.

 

Final Thoughts

AI is no longer a futuristic concept—it’s a practical tool transforming how UK landlords and property managers operate. By delivering tailored, efficient, and engaging tenant experiences, AI helps future-proof commercial properties and meet the rising expectations of tenants in a dynamic market.
