Market Intelligence Platform
Explore the rental market and trends from the convenience of your desktop, regardless of where you’re based.
Imagine you are a property investor sitting in the US, interested in purchasing an office building in Tokyo. Thanks to OfficeBlocks, rather than immediately having to call a broker or arrange an in-person site visit, you can explore the streets of Tokyo from the comfort of your home or office and obtain rental value estimates instantaneously – whether it’s a building you’ve come across previously, just spotted or even a virtual or proposed building on a greenfield site.
You can also generate comparisons across any set of attributes and tailored parameters, for example predicted rental price, floorspace and location.
- Fully integrated with the Market Intelligence App.
- Generate reports using a visual mapping application, to record information, place pins on buildings of interest, and receive comparison reports on key building data.
- Collaboration with teams by sharing buildings of interest, personalised notes and links to available space in a particular building, or within the search vicinity.
- Access estimated rent and floor space of any building with ease and speed.
Portfolio Intelligence Platform
Instantly assess the impact on risk and return when you acquire or divest assets from your global property portfolio
Imagine you want to add a building in Seoul to your global commercial real estate portfolio. It may look appealing as an individual investment, but how will it affect your entire portfolio in terms of risk and return? The Portfolio Intelligence Platform gives you the answer immediately – it calculates all the cross-correlations and diversification factors for you at a click of a button.
As well as adding potential new assets to your portfolio, you can assess the effect of divesting assets. The tool does this by measuring expected returns, historical variances, market correlations and correlation between markets.
So, when you present a proposal for a new investment or undertake your due diligence, you can immediately show the impact of the investment in a systematic way.
- Optimise your portfolio by seeing the impact of investments and disposals in an instant.
- Understand the predicted return for the next 5 years.
- Understand individual asset or portfolio risk.
Risk Intelligence Platform
Analyse the risk of your commercial property portfolio with a regulatory-grade risk analysis framework as used by leading global banks and insurers.
Fully understand the risk of an individual property, or at a portfolio level.
If you want to put the commercials a deal for a building in Hong Kong including, for example, multiple lenders and potential investors, the Risk Intelligence Platform enables you to structure the deal from a risk perspective, including all its complexities.
You can combine multiple properties and loans, debt and equity across multiple countries and currencies to obtain a regulatory-grade assessment of risk which you can use to inform the pricing. Moreover, you can perform elaborate ‘what if’ exercises and stress-tests. For example, you can calculate what could happen if you lose n% of my tenants across my global portfolio because of COVID-19.
- In-depth risk analysis of a specific property.
- Drill down into the specific source of risk.
- Perform hypothetical stress tests to understand the risks your investment will face in specific scenarios.
