Founder and Chief Executive Officer

Louis Peter Cotrone is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of X Real Estate Group, where he leads the firm’s strategic vision, platform development, and execution across commercial real estate, deployment infrastructure, and specialized advisory verticals. His leadership emphasizes systems-based execution, localized expertise, and operational rigor across retail, mixed-use, and adaptive asset strategies.

Louis’s foundation in performance and leadership began with his collegiate career as a Division I football student-athlete at Marist College, where he competed with dedication and balanced rigorous academics with athletics. Following his collegiate career, he pursued professional football in Europe, where he attained distinction as captain of the Italian National American Football Team and guided the squad to its first European Championship appearance in 35 years. During his tenure, he was ranked as one of Europe's top 50 players and twice received Italian National Team MVP honors, bringing strategic leadership and competitive excellence to international competition. Louis is fluent in both Italian and Spanish and holds dual Italian citizenship, bringing valuable multicultural and international perspective to his professional work. 

Born and raised on Long Island, Louis became involved in real estate early through his family’s investment and development interests. He has since built a career executing complex commercial real estate engagements, with particular depth in urban retail corridors, mixed-use environments, and market expansions. As he scaled his career, he identified structural inefficiencies in traditional brokerage practices and responded by architecting a proprietary operating infrastructure tailored for repeatable, data-driven decision-making.

At X Real Estate Group, Louis is the principal architect behind the firm’s internal platform infrastructure, including XOS (X Operating System) — a proprietary, AI-enabled operating and intelligence framework that synthesizes market signals, owner engagement data, underwriting logic, and workflow automation into a unified execution engine. XOS continuously improves through iterative learning from market interactions, enabling persistent intelligence, optimized outreach, and consistent performance.

Louis also developed Block Market, a deployable real estate activation platform that transforms underutilized space into structured, revenue-generating environments through engineered infrastructure, governance standards, tenant orchestration, and scalable deployment playbooks. This system positions the firm to move beyond traditional leasing toward controlled execution, replicable scaling, and operational accountability.

Complementing these systems are Pyra Media, X’s internal narrative and communications arm; X Cannabis, a specialized advisory vertical tailored for highly regulated environments; and X Dev, the development and feasibility strategy layer focused on zoning, incentives, and asset-level execution. Together, these platforms create an integrated ecosystem that supports owners, operators, developers, and public stakeholders with institutional discipline and modern operational tools.

Louis’s work today centers on long-term platform stewardship, strategic governance, and the continued evolution of X as a comprehensive real estate operating system — one built for intelligence, deployment, and execution across markets.
