This review paper synthesizes existing literature on the independent research and development (R&D) of digital management platforms for real estate, focusing on innovation across format optimization, investment decision-making, and benefit control systems. The real estate industry faces unique challenges in adapting to digital transformation, requiring platforms tailored to its specific needs. This paper investigates the historical evolution of these platforms, highlighting key milestones and paradigm shifts. Core themes explored include innovative format optimization techniques such as BIM integration and spatial data analytics, advancements in investment decision-making through AI-driven predictive models, and sophisticated benefit control systems incorporating blockchain and smart contracts. A comparative analysis of different platforms reveals their strengths, weaknesses, and the persistent challenges hindering widespread adoption. These include data security concerns, interoperability issues, and the need for skilled personnel. Finally, the paper presents future perspectives on the R&D of real estate digital management platforms, emphasizing the potential of edge computing, IoT integration, and personalized user experiences. This review aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state-of-the-art and guide future research and development efforts in this rapidly evolving field. Ultimately, this paper facilitates the diffusion of essential knowledge on the applications of digital optimization, investment management, and smart benefit control in the real estate sector.References
