What Sytes does

Sytes is a Fort Lauderdale-based commercial real estate (CRE) marketplace platform that connects expanding tenants with landlords, brokers, developers, municipalities, and real estate investors. The core product is a two-sided digital marketplace where tenant-side brands and franchisees broadcast site-selection criteria (demographics, traffic, co-tenancy, lease terms) and landlord-side counterparties respond with structured property proposals, replacing cold calls, spreadsheets, and broker intermediation with a direct, qualified proposal flow.

The platform is anchored by Rio AI, a proprietary recommendation engine that scores and ranks every property against tenant criteria in real time and auto-fills missing property details. Supporting modules include Live Marketplace Activity (real-time visibility into active requirements, matches, and proposal status), the Smart Submission Hub (centralized management of conference and website property submissions), and Market Insights (demand, supply, and velocity analytics). The platform is delivered as a web application hosted on Vercel's US infrastructure, with encryption in transit and at rest and an Information Security Program aligned to the SOC 2 framework (effective August 13, 2024).

Sytes operates a per-seat subscription model priced at $99/month on annual contracts paid monthly, with unlimited brands, listings, and national coverage bundled into each seat. The go-to-market blends an enterprise demo-led sales motion targeting commercial real estate professionals with a self-service signup channel supporting Google and Microsoft SSO. The company markets to a diversified set of named enterprise franchise tenants across QSR, fast casual, fitness, automotive, pet care, optical, coffee, salon suites, childcare, and entertainment verticals, and claims 300+ real estate teams and 100+ actively expanding tenants on the platform. Sytes is a privately held Florida LLC (Sytes LLC) with no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or management team in the source data.

Direct peers

• Crexi: Crexi is a commercial real estate marketplace and data platform connecting brokers, buyers, and sellers with AI-driven property discovery and dealmaking tools. Like Sytes, it serves CRE professionals with a digital marketplace layer, but Crexi focuses on investment sales rather than tenant expansion.
• Catylist: Catylist is a commercial listing platform serving brokers and tenants with property search and submission tools across the U.S. It overlaps with Sytes' tenant-to-landlord matching proposition, particularly for retail and office site selection.
• Brevitas: Brevitas is a CRE marketplace and deal platform enabling listing, marketing, and transaction management for commercial properties. It serves a similar broker-driven, marketplace-based CRE workflow as Sytes and is a direct alternative for landlords and tenants.
• Biproxi: Biproxi is a commercial real estate platform focused on connecting buyers, sellers, and tenants through structured listings and deal management. It targets a similar mid-market CRE audience with marketplace-driven deal flow, directly comparable to Sytes' tenant-expansion focus.

Broad incumbents

• VTS: VTS is a leading CRE leasing and asset management platform used by landlords, brokers, and enterprises to manage portfolios and pipelines. It overlaps with Sytes on the landlord-tenant leasing workflow and increasingly on AI-driven deal matching for institutional portfolios.
• Reonomy: Reonomy (now part of Altus Group) is a CRE data and intelligence platform providing property, owner, and market insights. It is comparable to Sytes in the data-driven CRE decision layer, but focuses on owner intelligence and underwriting rather than tenant expansion matchmaking.
• CommercialCafe: CommercialCafe, owned by Yardi, is an online CRE marketplace for office, retail, and industrial properties. It is comparable to Sytes as a listing and search destination, though it is part of Yardi's broader CRE software suite and not purpose-built for tenant expansion workflows.
• LoopNet: LoopNet, owned by CoStar Group, is the largest online commercial real estate marketplace for listing and searching CRE properties. It is the dominant incumbent Sytes competes against for landlord-to-tenant visibility, though LoopNet's model is listing-based rather than AI-matched tenant requirements.
