What Global Real Estate Intelligence is, where the research comes from, how we stay neutral, and how your data is handled. Still have a question? Get in touch.
GREI is the intelligence platform for commercial real estate. The major firms, brokerages, lenders, and data houses each put out excellent research, but it lives scattered across dozens of separate websites, disconnected from the funds, managers and deals it concerns. We bring it into one place, organised by sector, market, and date and connected to the companies and funds behind it, so you can find what you need without searching firm by firm. Every publisher is indexed neutrally and linked to its own page.
Anyone who needs to stay on top of commercial real estate research: investors, brokers, lenders, developers, asset managers, analysts, and advisers. If you currently keep a folder of bookmarks and check a dozen firms’ sites to keep up, GREI is built for you.
Yes, and that’s exactly the problem we solve. The research is free, excellent, and buried across well over a hundred different websites, each showing you only its own house view. You don’t have a research shortage; you have a fifty-open-tabs problem.
GREI doesn’t sell the research; we always link you to the original on the publisher’s own site. What we give you is the layer on top: one neutral place to find and compare what the whole industry is publishing, so you stop hunting and start finding.
A brokerage’s research page shows you only its own work and its own read of the market. GREI is neutral and cross-publisher: one search spans every firm we index, with no single house view. And unlike a general web search, GREI is built for the real question: filter by market, sector, and date, and get the relevant research ranked across publishers rather than whoever ranked highest on search that week.
It’s a fair question, and we’ll be straight with you. A general AI assistant is genuinely good at this. Ask it for a weekly real estate briefing shaped around your world and it will hand you something that reads well, feels personal, and costs next to nothing. If that is all you need, use it. We mean that.
Here is what a do-it-yourself prompt cannot do, and what GREI is built to do:
The short version: a clever prompt gives you something that looks like intelligence. GREI gives you intelligence you can put in front of an investment committee.
Because it is the front door, not the product. The GRE Intelligence Brief is us doing, free and for everyone, the exact thing people are now trying to rebuild by hand: what’s happening in commercial real estate, chosen and summarised, with no prompt required. It is how you meet GREI.
Professional is for going deeper on your own schedule: the funds intelligence (whose nearest paid alternative starts at five figures), the listed-market Terminal with end-of-day prices and SEC-cited operating figures, unified search across every library, and custom data reports. The brief and the Intelligence Library staying free, forever, and personal to you, is the point.
Those platforms are systems of record for proprietary data they collect and verify themselves (comps, rent rolls, transactions) and they price accordingly, often in the five figures a year. GREI is a different category: an intelligence platform built on the research the whole industry publishes, where we act as a neutral index of that research rather than a holder of it. We index reports from across every major provider and link you to the original source, with attribution: one search, filterable by provider, sector, geography and date. We don’t have a house view and we don’t rank our own research above anyone else’s, because we don’t produce any and we don’t host anyone else’s. We point you to the report; the publisher keeps the report.
The company and product names above are trademarks of their respective owners, used for identification only. GREI is not affiliated with, authorised by, endorsed by, or comparable in scope to any of them. Comparisons are GREI’s own opinion, provided for general information only and not as investment advice.
If you rely on a provider for proprietary comps, rent rolls, or verified transactions, keep it, because GREI doesn’t replace that. What GREI replaces is the scattered, expensive research and news layer: the fifty tabs, the separate news subscriptions, the “did I miss the report that mattered” problem. Most firms find GREI is an easy addition that lets them consolidate, or defer, the rest.
We aggregate from publicly available sources: the research that firms, lenders, and data houses publish openly on their own sites. Every item in the index credits the firm that produced it and links directly to the original page or PDF.
For third-party research, no: GREI summarises and links to the original. Each research item sends you to the originating firm’s own page to read it, and all rights in the underlying research remain with the firm that produced it. (Public-record and market data is different: that we compile and host, with its source cited.) See Sourcing & attribution for the full detail.
GREI is independent and has no brokerage business, no listings, and no deals to win. We index every publisher on the same footing and rank by relevance and recency, not by who published. The neutrality is the point: it’s the view nobody is trying to sell you.
Yes. If you’d like a source added, a detail corrected, or your research removed, see our note for publishers or contact us and we’ll take care of it.
Some information on GREI (company financials, filings, and market statistics) comes from public and regulatory sources such as the SEC’s EDGAR system, Canada’s SEDAR+, and government agencies. That is public-record information, which we collect, standardise, and present with its source cited. It is distinct from the third-party research above, which we only ever summarise and link to. Always rely on the primary source for anything that matters.
Yes, and it is worth it: a free account gives you the news, deals and market research libraries (news, deals, market reports and thought leadership), unlimited, forever, plus the GRE Intelligence Brief. It is also where you tell us the sectors and markets you cover, which is what turns GREI from an index into your index: your dashboard, your World View and your Intelligence Brief are all built from that one choice, on the free tier. Browsing and searching the index is open to everyone without an account; reading is limited to three articles until you sign up, and then the limit goes away for good.
Two things are free, forever, with an account: the GRE Intelligence Brief, and the news, deals and market research libraries, unlimited. Both come personalized to the sectors and markets you set, at no cost. Professional unlocks the data machine: charts, managers and investors, the funds intelligence (manager-authored presentations, fund track records & pension performance data, cited to source), custom data reports, and the Media vertical, for $39/month, or $390 a year (two months free). Team is $399/month for 5 seats, and $79/month for each additional seat.
See pricing for the full comparison. The core promise, a neutral weekly read of the industry’s research, stays free at the heart of the product.
There’s nothing to download: GREI installs straight from the browser. Open greintelligence.com and add it to your home screen, and it opens full-screen like a native app, with its own icon.
On iPhone or iPad: tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. On Android: open the browser menu and tap Add to Home screen.
Yes. The Intelligence Library lets you filter by market, sector, and recency, and surfaces the most recent research first.
The index refreshes continuously as firms publish, so new research appears without you having to check each firm’s site. Coverage is being expanded across firms, sectors, and markets over time. This is an early, fast-moving build.
The Intelligence Library covers January 2024 onward. Fund performance, manager track records, and market data go back much further, as far as public disclosures allow.
Every source link is checked automatically each day. If a publisher moves or retires a page, the directory detects it and routes you to that firm’s research home rather than a dead link. Dates and tags are our best classification and may be approximate; tell us when something looks wrong and we’ll fix it.
We keep it minimal. We use your email and the interests you choose to run your account and shape your feed, nothing more. We don’t sell your data. See our privacy notice for the detail.
