We’ve been waiting for someone to finally challenge the legacy systems strangling the heart of multifamily revenue management. That moment is here, and Rentana brought the receipts. 29th Street Capital (29SC), an institutional player managing over 12,000 units, recently ran a high-stakes, 90-day pilot to choose a revenue management partner that would help them grow their assets, be easy to use, and give them complete control over their data.
Their options? Eight top software vendors they assessed over two months, and then narrowed to two of the newest leading platforms: One of the latest new entrants from an industry leader vs. a fast-scaling AI-powered upstart named Rentana.
The results? Rentana won driving higher ROI across the board:
● $4.6M in added valuation
● 3.5% stronger NRI performance
● 21x faster onboarding
● 36x faster support: 5-minute average response time vs. 3-day ticket delays
● 125 features shipped in 90 days
Rentana didn’t just show up for the challenge; they outpaced, out-delivered, and out- strategized the competition. I’m calling it a mic-drop moment in Multifamily! But consider this more than just a Proptech cage-match dominating win! It’s a philosophical shift for the industry.
For nearly three decades, multifamily constituents tolerated black-box revenue management systems that were slow to evolve, difficult to onboard, and downright painful to operate. We accepted them because there was no better alternative.
That story is over! 29SC’s VP, Robert Waz, put it plainly: “The UI is miles ahead. We trust their data security. Rentana gives us a strategic advantage to grow our assets.” Why does this matter to you?
Decisions made in the C-suite about pricing, performance, and platform strategy don’t live in the abstract; they become action items that impact every level of your operation. And if your systems are slow, your end-users suffer. Speed to market matters on every level.
Rentana’s edge? A dynamic AI engine tuned to real-time market shifts, intuitive dashboards, and workflows your team will actually use. The platform analyzes public market trends alongside each customer’s private rental data exclusively for your company’s individual use. It delivers actionable insights tailored to each property and enables leaders to make faster, more, informed decisions.
This matters more than ever because of the market's uncertainty, resident behavior is shifting, fundamentals are changing at an accelerated pace, and the teams doing the work deserve better tools. The industry has been waiting for a platform that respects speed, transparency, ease of use, and decision-making precision. Rentana won because they were built for this moment!
It’s time to stop making decisions based on what was “safe” in the first 25 years of the 2000s. Looking back now, that caution cost the industry a fortune regarding value. And if this isn’t your wake-up call, your competitor’s already answering it.
Operational excellence is a decision, and Rentana seems to have become the easiest decision in 2025. Please don’t take it from me, review those receipts again.
