New York, NY, June 13, 2023 – Nuveen Real Estate, one of the largest investment managers in the world with more than $153 billion of assets under management, announced it is onboarding an additional 10 million square feet of its life sciences and office portfolio onto Prophia, an AI lease abstraction and commercial real estate data management platform.

Dedicated to eliminating manually intensive lease abstractions and data accessibility processes, Prophia allows industry leaders to enhance their investment strategy with comprehensive, verifiable, and structured commercial portfolio data.
Initial Prophia Partnership & Expansion
"We rolled out Prophia in staggered stages, but we wanted to have a comprehensive view of all lease data points and a platform that facilitates easy navigation and reporting,” said Mark Meehan, Director, Office Sector, Nuveen Real Estate.
“Prophia excels in managing the complex data within contractual documents throughout the entire lease lifespan. While deal workflow is essential, we recognized Prophia’s unique qualification to handle data management beyond lease execution.”

Nuveen embraced the adoption of Prophia's capabilities from the outset, starting with the successful integration of Millennium Tower, a 20-floor building encompassing over 200,000 square feet of rentable commercial and residential space in downtown Seattle.
This steadfast partnership has since witnessed Nuveen onboarding several complex assets onto the platform, recognizing the critical importance of accurate and reliable portfolio data for informed decision-making.
Committed to Embracing Innovation
Nuveen's commitment to embracing innovation has positioned the firm for continued success in navigating market challenges and leveraging technology to its advantage. As office vacancy rates rise to 15% and the life science sector experiences continuous growth, Nuveen’s investment in Prophia's state-of-the-art tools ensures they remain at the forefront of the industry when sudden market changes occur.
Already Prophia has enabled Nuveen to assess risk in real-time, making informed decisions on behalf of investors and stakeholders when market volatility throws portfolio performance into a balancing act. Having this level of agility in business intelligence is all but required to safeguard firms against market changes and capital access.
The Result: Nuveen Transforms Their Business Intelligence With Prophia
Prophia even takes the business intelligence piece a step further, offering portfolio insight from a centralized, structured source that can be easily shared with teams and individuals making important business decisions, “Within Nuveen, it’s very important for us to have one true source of data across all the tools we use,” noted Mark Meehan as yet another reason the expansion onto Prophia made sense for the firm’s portfolio data management needs.
