A developer's VP was stitching a dozen separate asset models into one district pro forma by hand. He put it at four weeks of full-time work. So we engineered his team a system, custom CRE workflows plus a stack of specialist AI agents, that builds it in an afternoon and pressure-tests it the way a full deal team would.
A mixed-use district is not one building. It is a hotel, a few multifamily phases, a retail block, a row of townhomes, and a handful of restaurants, each underwritten in its own Excel model, with its own assumptions. To raise money on the whole thing, someone has to fuse all of them into a single pro forma a lender or an investment committee will actually trust: one capital stack, one waterfall, one set of returns.
Done by hand, that is roughly four weeks of full-time work. And it drifts. Numbers stop tying between the master and the parts, the capital stack stops balancing, and three different equity figures end up in the same deck. It is slow, it is fragile, and it has to be redone for every deal.
Then it has to survive a room full of skeptics. A lender stress-tests the coverage, a credit committee hunts for what is uninsurable, an investor asks why the returns are thin. One VP cannot be a builder, a banker, a lender, and an investor at the same time, and the model has to answer all of them, or the raise stalls.
We don't underwrite their deals. We built them the model that does.
Not a one-off spreadsheet, and not a template off a shelf. We built the commercial-real-estate underwriting skills from the ground up, plus a master model their analysts own and operate. Point it at the asset models and it consolidates them into one investment-banking-grade district pro forma, the same way on this deal and the next.
Pulls every asset model in: hotel, multifamily, retail, for-sale, F&B.
One set of dates, escalations, fees, and exit assumptions across all of them.
One capital stack, one phased land takedown, one combined cash flow and waterfall.
Downside break case, sensitivity matrix, and an integrity harness that must pass.
This did not come off a shelf. We engineered the CRE underwriting skills from the ground up, and built a stack of specialized AI agents to run them: a virtual deal team that reviews every model the way a real one would. A builder, a financier, an investor, and a lender, each pulling at it from their own angle, in parallel.
That is the kind of scrutiny that normally costs weeks of meetings with expensive people. Here it runs in minutes, on every deal, and the developer owns the whole team.
Twenty-four tabs. Fourteen asset slots across five property types, each with full dev budget, financing, operations, and disposition. A district capital stack with senior debt, public financing, mezzanine, preferred equity, and a GP co-invest. A four-tier European waterfall with clawback. The headline that falls out the bottom:
A model is only worth what a lender or an IC will trust. So every rebuild runs an integrity harness: the master is cross-checked against an independent shadow model and a battery of internal tests. All of them have to read PASS. If a number stops tying, the build fails loudly instead of quietly handing over a deck with three different equity figures in it.
It also writes a mandatory downside case and a sensitivity matrix, so the team walks into the room already knowing where the deal bends. Defensible, not just pretty.
And it compounds. Every new district, every new capital raise, every assumption change that used to mean a week of rework is now a rerun, vetted by the same virtual deal team each time. The expensive part, building the model and the specialists that pressure-test it, was built once.
We don't underwrite your deals for you. We build your team the CRE infrastructure that does it: a model, and a stack of specialist agents to pressure-test it, ironclad and reusable, so the month you used to spend per deal comes back on every one. If that is the kind of leverage you want, let's talk.
