Connects property, lease, operating, development, financing, comparable, scenario, and portfolio records.

Category: Valuation and asset workflows
Sector fit: Core: Asset Management, Banking, Private Markets, and Corporates.

The operational problem

Property evaluation combined site records, plans, leases, rent rolls, operating statements, capital expenditure schedules, market comparables, planning requirements, engineering reports, and financing terms. Asset, space, tenant, and lease identifiers differed across sources. Development capacity, acquisition economics, conversion assumptions, and operating performance were often modeled in separate workbooks. Portfolio summaries inherited inconsistent definitions for area, occupancy, income, costs, and value. Investment and credit teams needed a shared property record that could support several asset types and strategies while keeping physical, contractual, financial, and valuation evidence connected.

How it was engineered

Markets IQ modeled properties, parcels, buildings, spaces, leases, counterparties, costs, comparables, financing, assumptions, scenarios, sources, and approvals as related objects. Intake begins with scope, jurisdiction, asset type, and strategy because each combination changes the required fields and applicable calculation path. The gateway retains source files and maps rent rolls, operating statements, plans, and comparable records into the shared model. Validation reconciles areas, lease dates, occupancy, income, expenses, capital costs, and financing balances before scenario analysis. Monthly cash flows connect physical capacity, lease terms, operating assumptions, capital programs, and debt service. Portfolio aggregation uses the same definitions as asset underwriting. Controlled extensions preserve asset-specific terms, accepting configuration effort to maintain comparability across development, acquisition, conversion, and operation workflows.

What it enables

The institution can evaluate a property from site capacity through operating cash flow, financing, value, and portfolio contribution. Teams can compare strategies under consistent area, lease, cost, and return definitions. Reviewers can trace each assumption to a source, isolate data conflicts, reproduce scenarios, and carry approved asset-level results into portfolio measures and review packages.

Responsibility

The engine performs property calculations and structures evidence. The institution and its appointed specialists own the investment decision.
