Case Study: Metropolitan Commercial achieves a competitive edge with CoStar Group

CoStar Allows Us to ‘Punch Above Our Weight Class’ Metropolitan Commercial Gains a Competitive Edge

Metropolitan Commercial, an independent Toronto-based commercial brokerage specializing in mid-market office, industrial, retail and investment properties, struggled with time-consuming property research and limited in-house research and marketing resources. To gain the market intelligence needed to compete with larger firms, the company turned to CoStar Group’s CoStar platform for researched, verified commercial real estate data and market news.

CoStar Group delivered a data and analytics solution—searchable property databases, reporting tools, a mobile app and an active research team—that cut research tasks dramatically (for example, building a 500–600 property database that once took 2–3 weeks can now be done in seconds). As a result, Metropolitan Commercial can present data-backed proposals, win larger clients, accelerate agent onboarding and responsiveness in the field, and retain staff who rely on CoStar Group’s speed and support.
