In this episode of Bricks & More, Adrian Strittmatter is joined by Tom Vaughan Fowler, Regional Director at WiredScore, to explore how digital infrastructure has become a cornerstone of modern real estate value.
From office towers in Mayfair to industrial parks in the Middle East, Tom has seen first-hand how connectivity, resilience, and smart technology are no longer “nice-to-haves” but essential drivers of competitiveness. He shares how WiredScore is bridging the widening gap between fast-moving technology and slow-moving real estate — and why the buildings of tomorrow will live or die by their digital backbone.
Key talking points:
🔌 How WiredScore certification helps future-proof assets and boost rental premiums
🏙️ Why connectivity is now as fundamental as water or power — and a major tenant dealbreaker
🏗️ The challenge (and opportunity) of retrofitting historic and listed buildings for 21st century demands
📶 Why 5G and 6G may worsen in-building connectivity — and how landlords can get ahead
♻️ How digital infrastructure underpins ESG goals by enabling smarter energy use and predictive maintenance
If you think “internet is just the tenant’s problem,” this conversation will make you reconsider.
