Altus Group Launches Altus Data Studio to Extend Visibility into the Canadian Real Estate Market

New data analytics platform provides powerful and integrated user experience and delivers comprehensive productivity and ease-of-use enhancements to Canadian real estate data subscribers

TORONTO, Feb. 19, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Altus Group Limited (“Altus Group”) (TSX: AIF), a leading provider of software, data solutions and independent advisory services to the global commercial real estate (“CRE”) industry, announces the launch of Altus Data Studio, a new data analytics platform that provides clients with a deeper level of insight on the Canadian real estate market with new analytical capabilities. This platform combines Altus Group’s subscription-based data from its legacy RealNet and Altus InSite offerings in a single application.

Altus Data Studio delivers significant user experience enhancements, faster access to key data sets, and introduces robust data visualization capabilities to Altus Group’s comprehensive coverage of the Canadian new home and commercial real estate markets. It combines an innovative data ingestion process and platform design to provide Altus Group’s Canadian data subscribers with the ability to access, provision, query and visualize a variety of data sets and types from multiple Altus Group sources in a centralized, single location.

With Altus Data Studio, clients will have the ability to access over 20 years of real estate data representing over 139,000 transactions, 50,000 commercial properties, and every new residential development project in major markets across Canada. Subscribers to multiple Altus Group data sets will benefit from a single view of all data providing a more comprehensive picture of a property and overall market dynamics.

The platform leverages a unique identifier assigned to each asset allowing the system to organize all data associated with the property and make it available to subscribers. This simplifies the process of accessing detailed property information from multiple sources, often with different standards and definitions, allowing clients to better discover and leverage the data to enable enhanced performance, benchmarking and attribution analysis.

“The launch of Altus Data Studio provides our Canadian data clients with an enhanced ability to better search, analyze and gain insights based on our market-leading real estate data,” said Richard Simon, Managing Director at Altus Group. “This new data platform delivers a significantly improved user experience and makes it easier for clients to make faster and smarter investment, development and leasing decisions.”
