Milestone Partnership: Castle Lanterra Leads the Way in Leasing Innovation I'm very excited 😅 to announce a major step forward in our mission to modernize leasing: **Castle Lanterra**, one of the most innovation-driven names in the multifamily industry, is now partnering with us to deploy our lead pre-screening scoring technology. A special thanks to Elie Rieder, CEO of Castle Lanterra, whose time and attention in evaluating our solution was truly an honor, and to Ryan Matthew Russo, Director of Marketing, for championing this collaboration. Our technology is designed to help leasing teams: * Prioritize qualified leads faster * Improve response times * Boost conversion rates — without extra effort * Reduce fraud risk — better-scored leads are less likely to be fraudulent In an industry where application fraud continues to grow, partnering with such a visionary real estate team is more than a vote of confidence — it’s a shared commitment to building a smarter, safer, and more efficient leasing process. We’re especially proud to note that **Castle Lanterra is the first to adopt** this solution — a strategic move that positions them at the forefront of data-driven leasing. This is a big moment for us… and it’s only the beginning. If you're in multifamily leasing and looking to reduce friction — and risk — in your leasing funnel, let's talk. #PropTech #Multifamily #LeadScoring #CastleLanterra #RealEstateTech #FraudPrevention

Exciting to see the continued conversation around AI and PropTech in Patrick Sisson's latest piece for Bisnow. As I shared in the article, we're witnessing a profound shift: billions of dollars flowing into PropTech, a new wave of AI-native startups, and increasing adoption of predictive analytics across real estate workflows. While some worry about a bubble, I believe this moment is less about hype and more about transformation 🔑 — and that a new generation of PropTech and FinTech companies will thrive by solving real frictions in how assets are bought, sold, and managed. Grateful to have Fifth Wall's perspective included alongside so many industry voices shaping the future of the build world - from Ashkán Z. at CRETI · Center for Real Estate Technology & Innovation, to Clelia Warburg Peters at Era Ventures, to Dom Beveridge of 20for20, and the teams at ServiceTitan, Industrious, CBRE, Bilt, Runwise, and more. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eH_FJbKB

2024 was a funky year for retail real estate, and 2025 may bring more of the same. According to Expansion Solutions, the market has seen inconsistent momentum: some tenants expanding, others rightsizing. Consumer demand remains strong, open-air centers are thriving, and retailers are prioritizing operational efficiency over aggressive expansion. For landlords and portfolio owners, the key is adaptability and data. Knowing which tenants are performing and why will define success in 2025. 🔗 https://loom.ly/QevvtYk #RetailRealEstate #CRE #ShoppingCenters #LeasingStrategy #DatexData #TenantPerformance #AssetManagement

𝐋𝐀 𝐯𝐬 𝐒𝐅: 𝐓𝐰𝐨 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲. Placer.ai’s latest report takes a close look at how Los Angeles and San Francisco are recovering post-pandemic — and the data tells two very different stories. While both cities are still behind the national average for office visits, San Francisco seems to be finding its footing, whereas LA’s recovery is slowing down. The big exception? Century City — it’s proving to be LA’s breakout submarket. Office visits there are only about 25% below 2019 levels, and leasing activity is leading the region. With its mix of top-tier buildings, great amenities, and a younger, affluent workforce, Century City is showing what office resilience can look like in the hybrid era.
