Brookfield Properties Dashboard

What needed solving

Real estate portfolio data was fragmented across spreadsheets and legacy tools. Decision-makers needed a single, intuitive interface to track revenue, occupancy, and lease health without drowning in raw numbers.

research & discovery

Stakeholders don't need more data — they need the right data at the right moment.

• Mapped key user personas: portfolio managers, leasing teams, and executive stakeholders with different information needs.
• Audited existing reporting workflows to identify friction points — manual exports, inconsistent KPIs, and delayed lease status updates.
• Benchmarked enterprise dashboard patterns in real estate and fintech to understand information hierarchy for high-stakes decisions.
• Defined core metrics: total revenue, properties sold, active listings, lease status, and recent transactions.

design process

• Started with low-fidelity wireframes to validate navigation structure — sidebar, search, and modular dashboard cards.
• Built a scalable design system with DM Sans typography, semantic color tokens, spacing scales, and elevation shadows.
• Iterated on data visualization patterns — bar charts for listing trends, progress gauges for occupancy, and status tags for lease states.
• Designed a complementary registration flow with social sign-in and manual onboarding to support new user acquisition.
• Ran usability reviews on chart interactivity — hover states, tooltips, and filter dropdowns for monthly/weekly/daily views.

design strategy

Resonate, not just report — every chart should answer a decision, not decorate a screen.

• Prioritized scannable KPI cards at the top so executives get portfolio health in under 5 seconds.
• Used a dark sidebar + light content area to create visual hierarchy between navigation and data.
• Applied semantic color coding — green for leased/success, red for available/at-risk — for instant status recognition.
• Structured property lists with thumbnail previews and inline actions to reduce clicks between overview and detail.

solution

• A full dashboard suite with revenue tracking, property listings, transaction history, and a calendar widget.
• Interactive bar charts with hover tooltips and time-range filters for listing trend analysis.
• Property detail tables with type, bed/bath, last updated, and color-coded lease status.
• A cohesive design system ensuring consistency across dashboard, listing, and registration screens.
