OUR
UK & EUROPEAN PRESENCE
Having established itself in the US as the main information provider, CoStar first entered the UK commercial property market in January 2003 by acquiring FOCUS Information Limited and, a year later, the Scottish Property Network (SPN). This positioned it very strongly at local, regional and national level for office and industrial availability, as well as research. In December 2006, CoStar also acquired Paris-based GRECAM, hence signaling its expansion into Europe. In February 2007, with the further UK acquisitions of Propex, a unique online trading platform and data exchange for the commercial property investment community, and Shopproperty, the largest database of retail availability, CoStar was unequivocally established as the leading source of Commercial Real Estate Information in the UK. PPR was acquired by CoStar in 2009. PPR Europe has a team of dedicated, multilingual and highly experienced individuals harnessing experience from financial sector, major property advisors and the academia
