Cadastral, a New York-based AI-native software company focused on commercial real estate, has raised $9.5 million from a group of strategic investors including Navitas, JLL Spark Global Ventures, AvalonBay, Equity Residential, and 1Sharpe. The funds will accelerate product development and go-to-market expansion for its “AI analyst in a box” platform, targeting workflows in real estate, private equity, and private credit.
Launched in late 2025, Cadastral’s flagship product has already been adopted by more than 40 customers, reflecting unusually fast uptake in a historically slow-moving sector. The platform provides vertically focused AI agents for CRE workflows such as T-12 analysis, lease abstraction, loan compliance, acquisitions due diligence, and end-to-end underwriting, and is designed to work out of the box without customer-specific training.
CEO and co-founder Abhinav “Abe” Somani, who previously founded AI document intelligence firm Leverton (acquired by MRI Software in 2019), positions Cadastral as a domain-specific alternative to horizontal AI tools, emphasizing its focus on CRE data, documents, and decision processes. Investors highlight the company’s ease of deployment and rapid time-to-value, with JLL Spark already piloting the technology across multiple internal use cases.
Navitas Capital, which led the round, framed the investment around a thesis that vertical AI with deep domain expertise will capture disproportionate value as real estate organizations formalize their AI strategies. Cadastral’s technology is aimed at both small owner-operators and large public REITs, with CTO and co-founder Aman Dhesi bringing experience from building large-scale AI systems at Meta, DoorDash, and Square.
The platform integrates with common document management systems such as SharePoint, Box, and Dropbox, as well as core real estate software like Yardi, which lowers switching costs and supports faster adoption in enterprise environments. Management presents the company’s mission as democratizing institutional-grade AI for real estate and private equity professionals globally, with the new capital expected to support continued customer growth, product breadth, and deeper penetration across CRE asset classes and use cases.
