What We Do
Our proprietary and proven methods reveal first-of-a-kind views into the relative value, risk and volatility of real estate submarkets.
Places Platform context and content (metrics) create actionable insights for the buyers and sellers of real property and related financial assets.
Places Score
Risk and return are relative. The attributes and amenities of places can be assessed to determine where capital can achieve above market returns and create more sustainable communities.
How do the economic, social and environmental outcomes of your places compare with other places?
Places LENS
Land use and economic function are the foundations of all real estate markets. The Places LENS defines the submarkets that attract investor demand and shape the relative performance of all real estate product types.
How does the built environment affect the relative value of place-based investments?
Places Forward
Real estate valuations are a function of past performance, present conditions and future expectations. Places' unique insight into submarkets allows capital to make smarter projections of the relative future values of real estate assets.
Where should capital invest to minimize risk and maximize returns?
Places Submarkets
The post Covid real estate cycle will feature shifts in real estate supply, demand and public policy. Product types have and will perform differently based on metro and submarket types.
Where should capital place its bets?
