AI and the Future of Real Estate, A Conversation with Steve Weikal and Caleb Johnson

What does AI actually mean for the people who build, design, and invest in the places we live and work — and what's hype versus reality? In this episode, we sit down with Steve Weikal, industry chair of MIT's Real Estate Transformation Lab and managing partner of the MET Fund, alongside Maine-based architect and Woodhull founding partner Caleb Johnson, for a wide-ranging conversation that's equal parts big-picture thinking and boots-on-the-ground practicality. From the surprising staying power of century-old mill buildings to the looming question of what happens to today's data centers when the tech moves on, the conversation challenges some of the most fashionable assumptions in real estate right now. Steve and Caleb dig into how AI is reshaping the office market and why placemaking matters more than ever in a work-from-anywhere world. Whether you're a developer, architect, investor, or just someone trying to understand where all of this is heading, this conversation will leave you thinking differently about the built world around you.
