Reonomy Announces Data Partnerships With WeWork, Cushman & Wakefield, Avison Young
NEW YORK (PRWEB) May 01, 2018 -- Reonomy, a leading provider of commercial real estate (CRE) data and analytics, today announced new data partnerships with top CRE institutions Cushman Wakefield, Avison Young and WeWork. The new partnerships come on the heels of $16 million in new funding, and demonstrate continued momentum for Reonomy’s expanded CRE data business, which includes API feeds and data services for enterprise customers in addition to subscription-based web applications.
Avison Young, Cushman & Wakefield and WeWork join a growing list of nearly two dozen data partners -- including top tier brokerages, occupiers, institutional investors and hedge funds -- who are using Reonomy’s data products to better understand their own data and augment it with validated third-party intelligence.
“Reonomy’s solutions are truly unique within commercial real estate,” said James Nelson, principal and head of tri-state investment sales for Avison Young, and an early adopter of Reonomy’s enterprise products. “Reonomy data allows us to make quicker and more informed decisions backed by a wealth of historically untapped data.”
Dave Fano, chief growth officer at WeWork, said: “Data is at the heart of how we conceptualize, analyze and develop our locations. From providing WeWork with leading industry intelligence to powering database efficiency, Reonomy’s enterprise products play an instrumental role in our data initiatives. They’ve become a strategic and valued partner to our growth and real estate teams.”
A key driver of this trend is Reonomy’s entity resolution API, which helps firms unify and cleanse their data for timely analysis and actionable insight. By matching any property to a unique Reonomy ID, entity resolution allows users to bring an array of data sources to one point of reference, allowing companies to reconcile both proprietary and third-party data.
“We’re excited to see the fast adoption of our enterprise API feeds,” said Richard Sarkis, CEO and co-founder of Reonomy. “For years, sophisticated CRE firms have been trying to cleanse their data and stitch together property details across multiple data schema. Our entity resolution API streamlines that process for them, and sets them up with an enterprise-wide solution to improve CRE data management.”
