GIS for Real Estate
 

Commercial Real Estate

Madrid

GIS technology gives you the tools to evaluate and analyze key factors when siting restaurants, stores, warehouses, and corporate offices such as

  • Proximity to suitable customers
  • Location of potential competitors
  • Crime rates
  • Transportation infrastructure
  • Regional labor pool characteristics
  • Environmental risk factors (i.e., flood plains, toxic sites, and others)

Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) can gain a competitive edge over traditional investments by using GIS to quantifying the investment potential of portfolios. GIS technology makes it possible to show properties in the context of potential customers/tenants, nearness to competitors, inventories of like property, labor pools, and risk factors.
