The commercial real estate sector is at a digital crossroads, with a clear divide emerging between traditional marketing methods and AI-driven strategies. A new report from RealtyAds, "The Class A Office Leasing Report: How AI Delivered Measurable ROI," provides definitive data on this shift. The comprehensive analysis of 2025 performance data reveals that Class A office assets leveraging purpose-built CRE AI technology achieved a staggering return on investment and captured the majority of market growth, far surpassing the reach of conventional tactics.
A new RealtyAds report shows AI-driven marketing for Class A office delivered an $874 ROI for every $1 spent.
The strategy achieved 89% broker market coverage, compared to 11% with traditional methods.
Assets using the platform facilitated $1.49B in closed deals and a 30% increase in property tours.
The report analyzed data from the strong 2025 Class A leasing market, which grew 12.5%.
Purpose-built CRE AI tracks broker activity and tenant data via 5M+ daily API calls.
The "digital gap" between AI-adopting and traditional assets is expected to widen in 2026.
The report arrives as the Class A office market shows signs of recovery, but the growth is not evenly distributed. Traditional marketing methods, such as mass emails and generic advertising, reach only about 11% of brokers in a given market. In contrast, the data from RealtyAds' AI-native platform demonstrates a 4.8x improvement in broker reach within the first month and 89% market coverage overall. This superior reach translated directly into key business outcomes, including an 18% increase in closed deals and over $10.5 billion in deals advanced.
"For years, commercial real estate has lagged behind other industries in digital marketing adoption," said Trevor Marticke, Founder at RealtyAds. "This report proves what we've seen firsthand: when Class A assets leverage AI-driven, CRE-specific technology, they don't just compete better — they win more deals. The data is undeniable."
The report underscores that generic digital marketing platforms are ill-suited for commercial real estate's unique challenges. RealtyAds' technology was engineered specifically for CRE, incorporating proprietary market intelligence powered by over five million daily API calls that track broker activity, tenant funding, and lease expirations. Its AI continuously optimizes budget allocation and is designed for sustained engagement throughout the industry's characteristically long deal cycles, addressing the critical period after initial property tours where 86% of deals are typically lost.
Looking ahead to 2026, the report identifies market dynamics that will further advantage digitally-enabled assets. With prime Class A inventory tightening and new construction lagging, competition for quality tenants will intensify. Furthermore, brokers are becoming increasingly digital-first in their property discovery process. These factors suggest that the performance gap between assets using targeted AI strategies and those relying on traditional methods will only increase.
"The question for Class A office owners isn't whether to adopt digital strategies — it's whether they'll implement the right ones before their competitors do," said Trevor Marticke. "This report provides the data to make that decision with confidence."
The RealtyAds report delivers an unequivocal message: in the modern commercial real estate landscape, data-driven AI is no longer a luxury but a fundamental component of a winning leasing strategy. The quantifiable results in broker reach, deal velocity, and return on investment provide a clear blueprint for Class A office owners to not just participate in the market recovery, but to lead it.
