STEPS Consulting and NorthPoint Development Partner to Drive
Company-Wide Transformation
OVERLAND PARK, KAN. / KANSAS CITY, MO — July 2026 — STEPS Consulting, an Overland Park, Kansas-based full-service AI consultancy, is expanding its work with NorthPoint Development, the Kansas City-based commercial real estate operating company specializing in industrial, data center, and multi-family development, into a company-wide technology transformation, with artificial intelligence as one part of a much larger shift in how the company operates. The expanded engagement follows two AI solutions STEPS has already built for NorthPoint, both of which are already delivering results. The new phase is about driving clarity across the organization, tying NorthPoint's technology initiatives directly to its long-term vision so every part of the business is working toward the same goal. That clarity is what lets NorthPoint move faster in the areas that matter most.
"NorthPoint has built one of the fastest-growing commercial real estate platforms in the country by moving quickly and thinking ahead of the market," said Craig Sizemore, Managing Principal of STEPS Consulting. "This isn't just about AI. We're helping them build a technology vision and a roadmap that match the scale and speed of the business they've built."
"As we continue to scale across industrial, data center, and multi-family development, we wanted a partner who could help us think through our technology strategy as a whole, not just chase the latest AI trend," said Ben Pomerenke, Chief Technology Officer at NorthPoint Development. "STEPS brings the strategic expertise to have that conversation and takes the time to understand how we actually run the business, which is exactly what we needed."
The engagement gives NorthPoint dedicated outside expertise to shape its technology direction and ensure alignment across the organization as it continues to scale its real estate portfolio. For STEPS, the partnership reflects the firm's continued focus in commercial real estate and development, building on the depth it has already established in the sector.
