Yardi

Doha, Qatar, 18 August 2026 – Al Meera Consumer Goods Company (Q.P.S.C.), one of Qatar’s leading national retailers and property developers, has selected Yardi® to support the next phase of its retail property management and leasing operations. With a strong presence across the country, almeera operates an extensive network of supermarkets, hypermarkets and convenience stores, serving communities with high-quality, accessible retail experiences.

Does your property management operation actually need AI? As much as we’d love to be everywhere at once, no team can respond to every inquiry, follow up consistently with 40 prospects when leasing season peaks, catch a Fair Housing issue in an outgoing message before it sends or flag the renewal that’s three weeks out while a maintenance backlog builds. That’s where AI earns its keep: covering the volume, the hours and especially the mundane, repetitive tasks a good team shouldn’t.

Under-construction pipeline prompts uptick but near-term supply will trail 2024-25 totals SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 12, 2026 – Recent evaluation of the under-construction pipeline for multifamily units prompted Yardi® Matrix to increase its completions forecast by 2.5% for 2026 and 1.3% for 2028, with the forecast for 2027 remaining basically unchanged from the Q1 forecast update. The increase in the 2026 forecast does not represent a change in overall forecast expectations.

Property managers deal with a lot of data, and there are many business use cases and reporting requirements that require access to that data in systems outside of their core property management system. How do you choose between the available data management tools that Yardi provides? Actually, there isn’t one ideal choice. That’s because Yardi offers three complementary options that solve for related, but specific, challenges.

For many real estate finance teams, fixed asset management has traditionally been treated as a compliance task. Assets are recorded, depreciation is calculated and reports are generated to support financial statements and tax requirements. But as portfolios grow and capital investments become more complex, finance leaders are beginning to look at asset data differently.

Approximately 25% of people living in Canada are currently experiencing food insecurity. But while the challenge is great, so too is the response. Much of the energy devoted to preventing and mitigating food insecurity comes from nonprofits across the country that work to ensure access to safe, nutritious food for those in need. The Food Bank of Waterloo Region, for example, distributed 9.6 million pounds of food within its 530-square-mile regional municipality just in the past year.

The industry’s only single-stack enterprise self storage platform provides one connected foundation to streamline operations, elevate the customer experience and support the business as it scales SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug.

A firm chooses the platform that runs its investment operations maybe once a decade, so the decision has to hold up as the portfolio grows. And portfolios are growing: In CBRE’s 2026 North American Investor Intentions Survey, 97% of investors said they are holding or increasing their allocations to real estate, which means more assets, more investors and more data moving through the system.

Artificial intelligence is moving fast. According to METR research, AI agents’ ability to handle complex tasks has been doubling every three to four months. The complexity of tasks they can handle has expanded from a few seconds of work in 2019 to more than 16 hours of sustained, multistep processing today.

Data over 6 months points to gradual reversal of slowdown through the early 2030s SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Aug. 5, 2026 – After analyzing six months of confirmed leasing data, Yardi® Matrix forecasts modest growth in U.S. multifamily market rents for 2026. Data summarized in a new special report points to rent growth of 1.4% for the year, close to the 1% year-over-year growth recorded through mid-2026 and the slowest pace in a forecast that projects 3.5% annual growth in the early 2030s.
