Lucheon seminar on Information databases for Commercial & Industrial properties held at Riverwood Inn on July 19, 2006

     

   

   The Wright County Economic Development Partnership held a Development Series Luncheon Seminar at Riverwood Conference Center on July 19th. The event started at 11:30 a.m. with a luncheon that was served to the 25 people, who attended.

    Presentations started at noon and the presenter was Pete Mattson of the CoStar Group. Mattson gave a detailed presentation about the concept of database surveillance and listing that the CoStar Group uses. The CoStar Group has twice as much information as the next largest supplier of commercial and industrial property in the Minnesota Metro 13 county area. Their service uses an objective viewpoint to listing available property and thus avoids seller bias. CoStar also lists many current retail users and allows users to plot competition within a radius using sophisticated search engines.
