CRE consulting
Consulting for real estate investment and development firms.
Brickmade helps mid-size CRE platforms with clearer operations, capital in the portfolio, and the next deal — plus practical AI so the gains stick.
Who it's for
Owners, principals, and GPs who need consulting depth — not another full-time seat yet.
Built for mid-size CRE platforms — industrial, multifamily, retail, and office — in Greater Boston and nationally.
Investment platforms
Growing shops that need operating cadence, portfolio clarity, and capital options mapped across the book.
Development sponsors
Teams that need leasing milestones, capital plans, and operator-led deal search without adding permanent headcount yet.
Principals & GPs
Leaders who want advisory on ops, capital, and acquisitions — with AI workflows that make the gains stick.
What Brickmade does
CRE consulting across platform, capital, and deals. AI as a second line — and an add-on on CRE work.
Lead offer

Why Brickmade
A CRE consultant who has owned the outcomes — and installs practical AI.
