Cornell Communities Principal and Co-Founder Leo Young will join a select group of over 40 influential real estate professionals and technology leaders at this year’s ReShaped: AI x Real Estate, hosted by NCC IQ. Scheduled for September 21st at 13:30 EST, Leo will speak on the panel “Democratizing AI in Real Estate: Training the Next Generation”, addressing how innovation and inclusion intersect in shaping tomorrow’s built environment.
As co-founder of a firm committed to acquiring, operating, and improving manufactured housing across the United States, Leo brings a perspective rooted in operational excellence, long-term value creation, and access to affordable housing. Cornell Communities’ vertically integrated model is structured not only to generate durable returns for investors but also to ensure quality housing outcomes at scale. These dual priorities—performance and accessibility—reflect a deeper imperative driving today's real estate conversations.
Leo’s panel will examine how real estate professionals can adopt responsible AI use while maintaining focus on market fundamentals. He will join peers across investment management, proptech, and development sectors in exploring how to identify talent, shape policy, and adapt operating models to meet the demands of an increasingly data-influenced environment.
The ReShaped: AI x Real Estate summit spans two days of programming aimed at new and exprienced real estate investors, asset managers, developers, technologists, and city planners who are shaping the physical and financial future of real estate. Through a series of high-impact discussions, the event will explore the evolution of intelligent systems in areas such as:
Asset and portfolio operations.
Construction planning and generative design.
Smart buildings and infrastructure.
Tenant analytics and lifecycle optimization.
Risk modelling and performance forecasting.
Leo’s session will focus on one of the most pressing questions: Who is being trained to lead this new AI-integrated market—and how? In a field undergoing rapid change, the panel will provide guidance on building teams, aligning investment theses with technology fluency, and preserving long-term housing affordability while embracing innovation.
For investors and operators, this is a moment to listen closely. As automation, data access, and machine learning enter every layer of the real estate lifecycle—from capital formation to community operations—the organizations best positioned to lead will be those that understand how to align their people strategy with their investment strategy.
Secure your seat at ReShaped: AI x Real Estate and hear directly from decision-makers leading the evolution of the built environment. Whether you represent an investment platform, technology startup, housing nonprofit, or municipal agency, this event offers a structured agenda tailored to your operational priorities.
