IMPROVING THE UNDERSTANDING OF COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE, INNOVATION, AND TECHNOLOGY THROUGH IN-DEPTH CUTTING-EDGE INTERVIEWS.

LISTEN, WATCH AND SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCASTS

Commercial real estate doesn't need another podcast that reads off press releases.

It needs someone who's actually worked in it, and isn't afraid to call out what's broken, what's hyped, and what's quietly working.

That's CRE Unplugged. Hosted by Ryan Elazari, a CRE operator turned media founder, the show breaks down the industry's biggest shifts (AI, climate, capital, policy, and the technology reshaping the built world) through honest, human-first conversations with the developers, founders, and operators building what's next.

Smart but never snobby. Informed without being intimidating. Whether you've been in the industry forever or you're just trying to figure it out, this is real estate, unplugged.


Ryan is a CRE technology advisor, speaker, and podcast host. He serves as the Senior Director at Empire Management, a diversified private real estate firm involved in the ownership, management, and development of multifamily, office, and retail.

He serves as head of innovation providing strategic leadership via the implementation of emerging technologies such as AI, Building Management Systems, and Internet of Things across the portfolio. 

Ryan teaches a graduate-level Real Estate Entrepreneurship course at Baruch College, where he connects with world-class thought leaders to share their stories and insights. He is a member of NAIOP’s Technology in the Built World Forum and the PropTech Angel Group and serves as President of the NAIOP New York City Chapter.

Born and raised in New York, Ryan lives in Manhattan with his wife, Daniela and his two kids, Farrah and Rafa. He is a huge sports fan and lover of food, live music, and beach vacations.
