Challenge

Build Office REIT Lease Restructuring Simulator using AutoGen Multi-Agent Conversations

With commercial REITs facing impending debt defaults and going-concern risks, negotiating lease extensions and tenant retention terms is vital. Developers will build a multi-agent negotiation framework using AutoGen. The framework features a REIT Asset Manager Agent, a Tenant Representative Agent, and a Lender Agent. The agents engage in multi-turn automated dialogue to negotiate rent reductions, lease extension durations, and landlord tenant improvement (TI) allowances, seeking a consensus that avoids bankruptcy while preserving property cash flow.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Develop an autonomous multi-agent negotiation simulator using AutoGen to model office lease restructurings under debt distress.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates negotiation efficiency, consensus reaching probability, and post-negotiation DSCR impact.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

DSCR Threshold Compliance

Verifies negotiated lease terms maintain REIT DSCR above minimum threshold (1.15)

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

Consensus Rate

Rate of successfully reaching valid restructuring agreement • target: 0.9 • range: 0-1

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Configure AutoGen ConversationalAgents representing REIT Manager, Tenant, and Lender

  • Implement custom conversation turn limits, group chat management, and human-in-the-loop controls

  • Model cash flow optimization trade-offs between landlord concession costs and vacancy loss

  • Extract structured consensus lease agreements from multi-agent negotiation transcripts
