Heimstaden is using OpenAI tools across its residential property business, saying AI now supports pricing, advertising, ad review and market feedback in its letting process. The operator chose OpenAI in June 2025 after evaluating several platforms, with a stated goal of giving employees better tools while reworking the processes at the heart of the business. In the Netherlands, the cost of a virtually staged property image has dropped from about €50 to under €0.10, a reduction of more than 99%, and Heimstaden puts the annual savings potential at €130,000 in that market alone. An environmental sustainability analyst without a software development background used Codex to clean and standardise scattered data, assessing 20,112 assets and generating more than six million rows; the work that would have taken five people a year is estimated at two people for two months. After ChatGPT Enterprise launched in September 2025, half of employees were using it within two to three months, under rules that keep employees responsible for reviewing AI-generated content and approving decisions. Heimstaden says a central transformation office and a network of AI champions coordinate larger initiatives, while its three stated pillars are employee training and tools, that central team, and readying property systems and data models for AI.
