A $70 million sale gets the attention. The team behind Sally Forster Jones Group, now Forster Jones International, shows how much work happens before anyone gets the keys.

BeyondView is a San Francisco proptech company that builds photorealistic, interactive digital twins of commercial real estate. Using computer vision, machine learning and deep learning on a cloud platform, it turns blueprints and photos into virtual spec-suites - so owners, brokers and operators can whitebox vacant space, reposition properties, run remote walkthroughs and manage portfolios without physical staging or on-site scans. Founded by former Wikimedia executive Kul Wadhwa and staffed with veterans of Pixar, Electronic Arts, Marvel and Stanford's HSTAR Lab, BeyondView counts WeWork Japan, Healthpeak, Ventas and other large landlords among its customers.
