abstract: >-
  The institutions best positioned to leverage frontier AI — regulated banks, law firms, healthcare systems, and the firms that serve them — are precisely the institutions least able to use it as delivered. Data residency obligations, model governance requirements, and the fundamental exposure of routing sensitive inference through shared hyperscaler infrastructure have created a structural ceiling on enterprise AI adoption. The AI-Native Office removes that ceiling by defining a new commercial real estate asset class: a sovereign, on-premises compute node built within a Class-A office environment, acoustically hardened to STC 55 and powered by tenant-owned inference silicon. Ambient multimodal data is ingested and processed locally — never crossing a public network boundary — delivering absolute data sovereignty, zero egress cost, and deterministic AI inference at the point where collaboration actually happens.
