Getting a retail lease signed is a major milestone. Getting the store open is another challenge entirely.
Between those two moments, property teams must review tenant drawings, interpret design criteria and lease requirements, coordinate revisions, and keep projects moving through approvals. The work is detailed and consequential, yet much of it still depends on manual document review and repeated back-and-forth.
That is why we built ADR Pro, Vynes’ AI-powered design review platform for retail commercial real estate. ADR Pro gives landlord and property teams a faster first pass on tenant drawing packages, helping them identify potential issues, prepare review comments, and focus their expertise where it matters most.

Built around the realities of tenant delivery
Our team brings more than 25 years of commercial real estate experience and has helped deliver more than 12,000 stores. We know that design review is about more than checking a set of drawings. It is part of protecting the asset, upholding property standards, coordinating with tenants, and getting a store ready to open.
As portfolios grow, the volume and variety of submissions grow with them. Reviewers need to apply property-specific requirements consistently while keeping track of the details across plans, guidelines, leases, and other project documents. ADR Pro was developed to support that work at scale.
What ADR Pro helps teams do
Review drawing packages in minutes. ADR Pro analyzes submitted materials against relevant property and project requirements and surfaces items for the team to assess. It gives reviewers a head start on the first pass, which can otherwise take days.
See the source behind a finding. Review comments can point back to the guideline, lease provision, or supporting language that informed them. Reviewers can check the basis for a finding before sharing it with a tenant or project partner.
Turn findings into usable feedback. Teams can review and edit comments, add drawing markups, and communicate the changes needed with greater clarity. The reviewer remains in control of the final decision and response.
Work across project documents and portfolios. ADR Pro supports review against multiple source documents, including design criteria and other project requirements, while giving teams a portfolio-level view of review activity.
The result is a more consistent process and more time for the judgment, coordination, and on-site work that property teams do best.
From signed lease to open store
The period after a lease is signed is often treated as a waiting period. In reality, it is an active delivery process with many opportunities for delays to accumulate. Faster, clearer design review is one way to reduce friction in that process.
ADR Pro is Vynes’ first step toward making tenant delivery more visible and manageable for owners, operators, property managers, and tenant coordination teams. It is built to help them move through reviews with greater speed and confidence while maintaining the standards that protect their properties.
