2024 brought seismic shifts to an already rapidly evolving commercial real estate market landscape. With interest rates beginning to normalize, market activity increasing, and firms mobilizing their data strategies to win in the age of AI, leading players sought new ways to adapt and seize opportunity. Throughout the year, our industry-leading team released numerous features to empower the world’s most sophisticated firms to capture more data, surface stronger insights and execute on their investment strategies more efficiently.
In this blog post, we’ll review the most transformative new releases shaping our clients’ success in 2024 and laying a strong foundation for 2025.
Looking Back on Innovations and New Releases in 2024
In 2024, we doubled down on our mission to guide real estate’s most sophisticated firms through a changing market by delivering new solutions to help them systematize data-driven decision making and streamline business operations. Guided by feedback from hundreds of institutional firms—including Blackstone, Nuveen, LaSalle, CBRE Investment Management, and MetLife—we helped customers to unlock an unprecedented new sourcing channel, tap into deeper data and insights, and streamline collaboration.
Dealpath Connect: The Future of Real Estate Dealmaking
In November, we announced Dealpath Connect, a first-of-its-kind data network connecting investment opportunities with institutional buyers through Dealpath’s industry-leading platform. Dealpath Connect marks a massive leap forward for the CRE industry by ensuring investors review every relevant deal, while also helping firms seamlessly capture market data and execute on the best opportunities, while accelerating deals and maximizing deal visibility for brokers.
Dealpath Connect launched in beta with JLL and LaSalle Investment Management, with numerous additional partners being added.

MSCI RCA Integration: Instantly Surface Market Insights
In an increasingly digitized market where the firms with the best information win, a forward-thinking data strategy is now table stakes. We announced a partnership with MSCI’s Real Capital Analytics (RCA) solution, which enables clients to tap into RCA data directly within Dealpath to surface market insights and streamline deal screening, underwriting and diligence processes for a competitive edge in any market cycle.
Over the course of 2025 and beyond, we will continue helping firms leverage comps to unearth deeper insights and strengthen data-driven decision making.

AI Extract: AI-Powered Data Capture for a Competitive Advantage
When data underpins every decision, and volumes of that data are trapped inside PDFs, teams sink hours of time into manual data entry or it dies in your inbox. Dealpath’s AI Extract solution handles the heavy lifting of capturing data from every OM or broker listing that crosses your desk, instantly standardizing and organizing critical deal data. This AI-powered automation empowers firms to evaluate more deals, build a proprietary database of comparables and identify high-potential opportunities faster.

Dashboards & Data Visualization: Turn Data into Insight
No matter how much data you capture, a centralized database that translates that information into meaningful insights is key to realizing your competitive advantage. Earlier this year, we launched enhanced Dashboard Reporting, delivering new visualizations to drive better investment decision making. This enhancement builds on our already robust reporting tools, which were the most advanced in the industry. By customizing dashboards, firms can turn data into the answers they need for screening, underwriting, and diligence—or even offer instant insights to executives.

Conversations: Streamlined Collaboration for Confident Execution
Siloed collaboration across email, meetings, chats, spreadsheets, and other channels can cause friction that creates deal or regulatory risk. We launched a new Conversations feature to bring valuable deal discussion directly into Dealpath, enabling investment professionals to make decisions in the context of deal data and information. Embedding discussion in one source of truth removes the risk of missed updates, while creating an audit trail that memorializes decision making throughout the investment lifecycle.
