A business moving into a space files permits before it opens: a change of use or occupancy, an interior fit-out, a new sign. You get each one with the street address, the type of work, the job value and the contractor when the town records them, so you can reach the new tenant before it opens.
Tell us your market and we’ll send recent records from it.
These permits are filed before the work starts, and every one has the street address, so you can reach the space even when the permit doesn't name the business moving in.
Cards marked Example use stand-in names and figures; the charts show real counts. A sample shows real records from your market.
Each week, mail every change-of-occupancy and fit-out address in your area, before the business opens.
Cleaning, security, telecom, furniture, signs, waste and insurance: a fit-out permit says a space is about to be occupied.
Permits come geocoded, so reps can plan visits street by street.
Where the town reports status changes, you see when the work is approved and when it is signed off, so you can reach out as the tenant moves in.
Every dataset is a feed with a cursor, delivered by API. Run it hourly, daily or weekly, and never re-download yesterday’s records.
