Release: ARGUS Intelligence 1.4, 1.5, 1.6
Summary
This release strengthens how CRE teams analyze performance, standardize KPIs, and manage data across leasing, valuation and portfolio workflows. Key enhancements are focused on rent roll ingestion, clearer valuation views (DCF vs. Traditional), more flexible portfolio construction, and deeper benchmarking insights by property subtype. These enhancements are designed to reduce manual work and improve decision confidence across assets and portfolios.
Key highlights
ARGUS Intelligence
Rent roll import with automated mapping: upload current rent rolls and auto-extract lease and step-level data for faster modeling and fewer manual errors.
Clearer valuation perspectives: distinct DCF and traditional valuation views, plus the ability to mix KPIs across methods in custom dashboards.
More accurate, standardized KPIs: updated KPI formulas and labels improve consistency across asset, portfolio, and benchmark analysis.
Asset Manager
Multi-family lease visibility: view and analyze multi-family leases alongside traditional contract leases at asset and property levels.
Direct asset and model creation: create, copy, and manage assets and models directly in the platform, synced with ARGUS Enterprise.

Portfolio Manager
Dynamic portfolios using custom attributes: build and filter portfolios based on ARGUS Enterprise custom attributes for more targeted analysis.
