Commercial real estate portfolio managers face a significant challenge: extracting critical data from hundreds of lease documents: PDFs filled with complex legal language, varying formats, and inconsistent structures. Manual extraction is time-consuming, error-prone, and doesn't scale.

The Lease Extraction Platform solves this problem by combining Databricks' cutting-edge AI capabilities with a modern, intuitive interface. Simply upload a lease document, and within seconds, our AI extracts key data points including landlord and tenant information, property details, financial terms, escalation clauses, renewal options, and risk factors.

What makes this powerful for portfolio managers:

• Instant insights — Convert unstructured PDFs into structured, queryable data
• Risk scoring — Automatically assess tenant credit risk, concentration risk, and rollover exposure
• Financial enrichment — Enrich landlord and tenant profiles with real-time financial data via MCP web search
• Portfolio analytics — Visualize expiration timelines, rent roll forecasting, and market comparisons

Built entirely on the Databricks platform:

• Information Extraction Agents — AI Playground agents with custom JSON schemas for structured extraction
• Model Serving Endpoints — Real-time inference at scale
• Databricks Apps — Full-stack React/Flask application with OAuth authentication
• Unity Catalog — Governed data storage with medallion architecture (bronze/silver/gold)
• AI/BI Dashboards — Executive-ready portfolio analytics
• Databricks Asset Bundles — One-command deployment across dev, staging, and production

This solution demonstrates how Databricks enables organizations to go from raw documents to actionable intelligence, empowering portfolio managers to make faster, data-driven decisions while reducing operational overhead.
