RentIQ

An AI rent & revenue-management platform that recommends the optimal rent for every multifamily unit from demand, comps, seasonality and exposure — and guides each renewal offer.

Client:Multifamily operator (NDA)
Duration9 weeks
ScopeMVP product design and front-end build of the Revenue Management board and single-floor-plan pricing detail, backed by a demand-scoring model and a renewal-offer engine.

// The Revenue Management board — portfolio KPIs, a 12-month effective-rent trend rising to $1,842, and a floor-plan pricing table with AI-recommended rents.

01In brief

If you read one part of this page, read these 4 lines.

  • Recommends the revenue-optimal rent for every floor plan, not a single blanket number
  • Every price is explainable — attributed to weighted demand, comp, seasonality and exposure drivers
  • Guides each renewal offer against move-out risk with a projected acceptance rate
  • One portfolio view of effective rent, occupancy and revenue-vs-budget for revenue leadership
02Overview

What it does — and which part of it we built.

RentIQ gives multifamily revenue managers a pricing brain for the whole portfolio.

It scores demand for every floor plan, plots a demand curve to locate the revenue-optimal rent, and attributes each recommendation to weighted drivers — demand strength, comp position, seasonality and exposure — so the number arrives with the reasons behind it. BuildspaceLabs designed and built the MVP front end: a Revenue Management board for portfolio-wide pricing and a per-floor-plan detail view with a rent-recommendation card, a comp set, an inline demand curve and a renewal-offer builder — turning a demand model and a stream of market signals into prices a revenue manager can publish in minutes.

What the engagement left the client with.
