About D-DARKS

D-DARKS is a Vienna-based market intelligence company specialising in commercial real estate. We develop data-driven tools that make the communication of the CRE market measurable. In doing so, we transform the daily narrative from credible sources into quantifiable sentiment signals for institutional investors, lenders and advisors.

The core of our work is rooted in the conviction that market sentiment shifts before prices move. While traditional market analysis relies on surveys and lagging indicators, D-DARKS measures the market narrative daily,  automated, AI-powered and in real time.

Our approach captures sentiment shifts by city, asset class and the specific themes shaping market activity as they emerge.

Our Founders Team

Christian Schitton

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. He conceived and developed the proprietary analytical methodology that forms the foundation of all D-DARKS products.

His market experience across asset classes and geographies leads how D-DARKS interprets sentiment data,  because measuring a shift in market narrative is only meaningful if it can be understood in the context of real market conditions. This combination of quantitative signal and qualified interpretation is central to the D-DARKS approach.
