Catella Residential and DoorFeed deploy real-time market analysis in new residential developments through AI.
Paris, 3rd of April 2026 – Catella Residential Partners, a specialist in residential real estate advisory and sales, and DoorFeed, an artificial intelligence platform focused on the French property market, are announcing a strategic partnership. The aim is to provide developers, investors and social housing providers with real-time market studies that combine the power of data with on-the-ground expertise.
Against a backdrop of continued pressure on the new-build housing market and evolving local planning policies, real estate stakeholders are under growing pressure to make faster, better-informed decisions at lower cost.
Catella Residential Partners supports leading developers and investors with their acquisition and sales strategies. DoorFeed, for its part, has developed a data platform covering the entire French residential market, both new-build and existing stock, enabling highly localised analysis down to individual address level.
The partnership combines this automated analytical capability with Catella Residential’s operational expertise and network.
Traditional market studies are typically delivered over several weeks, a timescale that is often out of step with the pace of real estate investment decisions.
DoorFeed is built for instant access. Analyses are available as soon as they are requested. The platform draws on a database covering transaction prices, sales rates, absorption trends and demand profiles to provide a detailed view of each local market.
From a cost perspective, a study can be up to 80% less expensive than traditional approaches, making it possible to carry out multiple analyses throughout a project’s development cycle without budget constraints.
Market analysis tools have not fundamentally evolved in the last twenty years. This partnership lays the foundations for a different technological model: large-scale data processed in real time and delivered at the speed operators now expect
James Kirimy, CEO of DoorFeed
The integration of artificial intelligence into real estate development and investment is accelerating internationally, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom. In France, this transformation has been more gradual, due in part to fragmented data sources.
DoorFeed has positioned itself in this space by aggregating and structuring the main real estate data sources available. As part of the partnership, the analyses produced by the platform will provide a foundation that is then enriched and interpreted by Catella’s teams.
This approach is designed to combine the best of both worlds:
• the speed and breadth of machine-driven analysis
• the judgement, context and advisory expertise of sector specialists
For the developers and institutional investors we support, the ability to test several market scenarios quickly fundamentally changes the way an operation is structured and managed. This partnership allows us to offer our clients a new generation of market studies: faster, more accessible and still grounded in expert analysis.
Paul Cayla, Président of Catella Residential
For developers, this solution makes it possible to carry out multiple studies before each operation without time constraints.
For investors, it offers simultaneous access to comparable analyses across several locations.
For social housing providers, it serves as a decision-making tool in negotiations, supported by independent data.
The partnership is already operational. Catella Residential’s clients can now access these analyses as part of their ongoing operations, with a gradual roll-out across all projects.
