About D-DARKS

D-DARKS is a Vienna-based risk intelligence firm for the commercial real estate industry. Our clients are institutional investors, lenders and advisors.

We address risk on two levels. At asset level, our Market Intelligence translates the daily market narrative into a quantified signal: by city, asset class and the themes shaping the market. At fund level, we assess extreme risk: how severely a vehicle can fall when conditions turn, where volatility-based models look away.

Commercial real estate markets are driven by figures and by narratives. D-DARKS measures both and makes risk visible from the individual asset through to fund level.

Our analyses draw primarily on publicly available institutional and market communication, enriched with licensed media content through our partners, in accordance with applicable law. They do not constitute investment advice.

Christian Schitton

Co-Founder, CEO & CTO

Christian brings thirty years of experience in investment, fund management and the restructuring of commercial real estate across the DACH region and CEE, including senior mandates for leading institutional investors and funds.

After decades in the market, his interest today centres on one question: how to see risk differently from the established metrics. He developed the proprietary methodology behind D-DARKS, from purpose-built, AI-based tools for the market narrative to the statistical assessment of extreme risk.

His experience across asset classes and regions shapes how D-DARKS interprets its analyses, a signal is only meaningful when read in the context of real market conditions.
