How we use data and AI to support real estate analysis and develop our internal workflows.

Digital progress shaped by our teams

One address.A structured market overview.

At pbb, we are advancing internal processes through data and AI. Developed together with our origination colleagues, the Quick Check concept for pbb CRE-X translates practical needs into digital workflows. It is designed to bring market and location information into consistently structured reports, supporting our teams as they prepare analyses and client discussions.

Quick Check

Concept for standardised reports

  1. Enter an address

    The property address provides the starting point for analysing its market and location.

  2. Select a report type

    The selected report type defines the structure and indicators. There is no need to write a separate request or assemble the outline.

  3. Review the draft

    The usual market-report review follows: check sources, challenge assumptions and add professional context.

Planned report types

  • Macro location
  • Micro location
  • Office
  • Residential
  • Logistics
  • Retail

The intended benefit

A consistent structure is intended to make preparation easier and findings comparable. The draft gives our teams a starting point for professional assessment and informed client discussions.

The data behind our work

Connected data.

A foundation for digital workflows.

We bring licensed market and transaction data together with property information, location data and risk indicators to support our internal analysis processes. Connecting these perspectives helps our teams research questions, compare findings and prepare structured assessments of properties in their market context.

Understanding locations

Every location has its own context.

Our location analysis looks beyond an address. Land values, flood risks, planning conditions and local amenities help us understand the setting of a property.

The Berlin example brings these perspectives to life. Explore the map layers to see different location conditions that inform our further analysis.

Data and AI in our internal workflows

We combine data and AI with market insight.

From exploring market questions to preparing report drafts, we use data and AI to support individual steps in our internal analysis workflows. Our teams contribute real estate expertise, review the findings and take responsibility for the assessment.

01 / Exploring market questions

Understanding developments.

We explore market and location data in dialogue with pbb CRE-X. Using Frankfurt as an example, we examine rent trends and differences between submarkets. The AI agent supports the research; we assess the answers and pursue relevant questions.

  • Compare developments across periods and submarkets
  • Put findings in context using the underlying data
  • Turn initial insights into focused follow-up questions

02 / Seeing properties in context

Understanding portfolios.

We bring property documents and portfolio data together with market and location information. Looking at properties in context helps us recognise patterns and identify assets that warrant a closer examination.

  • Bring together property information from different documents
  • Examine rent levels alongside location conditions
  • Use patterns and outliers as a starting point for professional review

03 / Documenting insights

Making analysis traceable.

We develop a structured analysis from a specific question. pbb CRE-X supports the research and the first draft. We add context, examine the reasoning and bring the findings together in a traceable report.

  • Align the question with the structure of the analysis
  • Connect findings to their sources and assumptions
  • Bring market knowledge and professional assessment into the report

04 / Professional review

Reviewing and interpreting findings.

Our teams review the findings in their real estate context and take responsibility for the final assessment.

  • Check sources, data currency and plausibility
  • Challenge assumptions and conclusions
  • Interpret, revise and approve the findings

How we work with data

Connecting knowledge.

Retaining responsibility.

Source context and usage rights guide how we use information. Confidentiality and the intended recipients determine what we can share.

Market data, property information and our professional assessments inform our analysis. Responsibility for their use remains with us.
