Engage More Leads with Custom Maps in Commercial Real Estate

With more than 500 custom retail and aerial maps, completed in 2023, we have witnessed first-hand how important of a role mapping plays in this industry to showcase the best aspects of your subject property. Our team of marketing managers understands this concept intimately, and they know how to properly design a map to show off your properties best features – whether it’s the impressive traffic counts, stoplight access, high traffic driving retail and amenities, nearby schools, universities, etc.

Chelsea Brown, Founder and CEO, commented “one of the best compliments we got this year was a return client telling us they wanted to create a new investment deck based on the success of the previous one we had made for them. These specific deck projects were map heavy, as they presented an extensive portfolio across multiple states. These maps were vital in telling the story of the portfolio. We were extremely proud that this client wanted to work with us again.”

Without further ado, let’s take a deep dive into the top 4 priorities when building a commercial real estate map.

Understanding the Essence of Commercial Real Estate Mapping

Mapping in Commercial Real Estate (CRE) serves as a foundational tool that translates intricate property data into accessible visual representations. These visualizations play a pivotal role in comprehending the geographical context, spatial relationships, and potential opportunities of a property. By superimposing property boundaries, landmarks, infrastructure, and other relevant data onto a map, stakeholders gain a clearer understanding of a property’s characteristics, proximity to essential amenities, transportation networks, and demographic factors.

The importance of mapping in CRE cannot be overstated. It transforms complex data sets into actionable insights, aiding in critical decision-making processes. Real estate professionals, investors, and potential buyers alike rely on accurate maps to assess the value and potential of a property. Precise mapping allows for a more comprehensive analysis of a property’s location, helping stakeholders evaluate market trends, forecast future developments, and make informed choices that align with their investment goals.

In the fast-paced world of CRE, where every decision carries financial implications, mapping provides a tangible advantage. It enables professionals to visualize market trends, identify untapped opportunities, and craft well-informed strategies. With FocusedCRE’s expertise in mapping, we offer a bridge between data and vision, empowering you to navigate the complexities of the CRE landscape with confidence and clarity.

The Power of Accurate Location Visualization

Understanding that mapping is a multifaceted tool that encompasses various techniques to provide a comprehensive view of properties and their surroundings, is a key component. Here are some key types of mapping used in CRE, each serving a unique purpose:

  • Geographic Information System (GIS) Mapping:
    GIS mapping integrates geographical data with real estate information, offering a dynamic way to analyze and visualize property details. This type of mapping enables professionals to layer diverse data sets, such as property boundaries, zoning regulations, transportation networks, and demographic information. GIS mapping helps in identifying trends, making data-driven decisions, and understanding the spatial context of a property.
  • Aerial and Satellite Imaging:
    Aerial and satellite imaging provide a bird’s-eye view of properties and their surroundings. High-resolution images captured from above offer insights into topography, neighboring developments, and accessibility. This type of mapping is particularly useful for assessing land use, evaluating potential sites, and understanding the broader landscape of a property.
  • 3D Mapping and Modeling:
    3D mapping and modeling bring properties to life by creating interactive, three-dimensional representations. This technology allows stakeholders to virtually explore properties, understand building layouts, and assess spatial relationships. 3D mapping is invaluable for architectural visualization, tenant space planning, and showcasing properties to potential buyers.
  • Market and Location Analysis:
    Mapping plays a crucial role in conducting market and location analysis. By visualizing data such as property prices, rental rates, demographic information, and economic indicators, professionals can identify prime locations for investment, assess market trends, and anticipate future developments.
  • Retail/Amenities Map:
    Typically, in most flyers, offering memorandums, BOVs and proposals there will always be a retail and amenities map. This aerial showcases the high traffic driving retail and amenities that surround the property which is important for potential tenants, investors, etc. to understand the accessibility, market, competition, and more.

Unveiling the Layers of Information

A comprehensive real estate map is more than a visual aid; it’s a treasure trove of information. Our meticulously crafted maps encompass:

  • Property Boundaries and Dimensions:
    Accurately outlining the property’s boundaries and dimensions is paramount. This provides a clear understanding of the property’s size and layout, crucial for assessing its potential uses and development opportunities.
  • Proximity to Key Locations:
    Highlighting the property’s proximity to essential landmarks, transportation hubs, commercial centers, and residential areas is vital. This information offers insights into accessibility and market reach.
  • Infrastructure and Utilities:
    Including details about existing infrastructure, utility connections, and amenities such as water, electricity, gas lines, and sewage systems is essential. This influences a property’s functionality and value.
  • Aerial Imagery and Satellite Views:
    Incorporating aerial imagery and satellite views provides a comprehensive visual context of the property and its surroundings. This perspective aids in understanding the property’s relationship with nearby features.
  • Future Development Opportunities:
    For properties with development potential, showcasing future opportunities like expansion areas or additional infrastructure attracts investors and underscores a property’s long-term value.
