Case Study: Cousins Properties Inc. achieves faster deal approvals and improved leasing visibility with Yardi Deal Manager

Cousins Properties Inc. - Customer Case Study

Cousins Properties, an Atlanta-based, self-administered REIT managing more than 15 million sq. ft. of Class A office and mixed‑use space across high‑growth Sun Belt markets, needed a consistent, portfolio‑wide process for gathering, managing and reporting deal information. The company sought a one‑stop workflow for expirations, rent rolls, stacking plans, tenant options and pipeline metrics to help its teams move faster and make consistent leasing decisions.

Cousins implemented Yardi Deal Manager as part of Yardi Elevate, giving leasing and asset teams a single platform tied to real‑time lease data from Yardi Voyager. The solution improved pipeline visibility, sped deal setup and approvals, reduced back‑and‑forth emails and calls, and strengthened communication with internal teams and brokerage partners—enabling Cousins to identify and capture lease opportunities more quickly.
