Practical Uses for AI

Evergreen

A practical look at where AI creates real leverage — for your people, your deals, and your thinking.

Where to Start

A thinking partner and research engine — not a replacement for judgment

  • AI handles information workResearch, synthesis, drafting, document review — the work that takes time but doesn't require expertise.
  • Your team handles everything elseThe calls, the relationships, the judgment. That doesn't transfer to a machine.
  • The right questionNot "how does AI work" — but "what would I do with an extra ten hours a week, with fifty years of experience still driving every decision."
What We'll Cover

Five areas we'll cover today

  • 01
    Market Research & Site SelectionSubmarket analysis, comp pulls, tenant demand — days compressed to hours.
  • 02
    Investor & Partner CommunicationsDeal memos, LP updates, annual letters — drafted in minutes.
  • 03
    Due Diligence & Document ReviewLeases, entitlement files, contractor bids — reviewed and summarized at scale.
  • 04
    Institutional KnowledgeFifty years of hard-won wisdom, captured and accessible.
  • 05
    Strategic PlanningNew markets, new asset classes, scenario analysis — faster and better informed.

The question isn't whether AI belongs in real estate. It's which parts of your day deserve a human.

01 · Market Research & Site Selection

Days of research, compressed to an hour

  • What used to take a dayDemographics, competitive supply, anchor tenant news, permit activity — each from a different source, manually assembled.
  • What AI makes possibleSame scope, same quality — formatted and ready to act on before your next meeting.
  • For Evergreen specificallyScreen more opportunities in California, Colorado, and Utah. Track competing activity in Phoenix and Denver. Qualify industrial sites before committing team time.
02 · Investor & Partner Communications

Investor updates, deal memos, and LP letters — drafted in minutes, not days

  • Quarterly LP updatesFeed AI the project status and key numbers. Get back a structured draft letter — ready to review and send.
  • Deal introduction memosSite overview, market rationale, return thesis — structured and ready for partner review.
  • Annual investor lettersYear-in-review narrative, portfolio summary, forward outlook — drafted from your notes.
  • The time calculationA 4-hour investor update takes 45 minutes with AI. Across a year of LP communications — the reclaimed time is significant.
03 · Due Diligence & Document Review

Your team reads decisions — not documents

  • Lease abstractsUpload a 60-page lease; get the rent schedule, options, co-tenancy clauses, and exclusives — in plain terms.
  • Contractor bid comparisonFeed AI three competing GC bids; it identifies meaningful differences in scope, allowances, and exclusions.
  • Entitlement researchApproval timelines, variance patterns, and development history for a target municipality — before you commit team time.
04 · Institutional Knowledge

Fifty years of hard-won knowledge — made accessible

  • Project retrospective analysisWhich development types yielded the best returns. Where entitlement risk was underestimated. Which markets rewarded early entry.
  • Lessons-learned captureStructured conversations with experienced team members, turned into permanent institutional reference — searchable and transferable.
  • The continuity playThe knowledge that built 600 projects doesn't have to leave when people do.
05 · Strategic Planning & New Business

You still make the call — with better information, faster

  • New market evaluationPopulation trends, employment drivers, development activity, competitive supply — ready before the first conversation.
  • New asset class researchWhat's happening nationally in industrial. Who the active players are. What the capital market appetite looks like.
  • Scenario planningInterest rate scenarios, cap rate assumptions, exit timing — modeled quickly so decisions are made with more information.
