    Inside the Property Intelligence Report

    Liveness & status

    Is this storefront actually open? Canonical open/closed/uncertain from live city signals (licenses, inspections, permits, 311) — with honest confidence labels, not a guess.

    Concept & tenant fit

    What retail concept fits this space and corridor — scored against demographics, daytime traffic, competition, and the brands already clustering nearby.

    Corridor & competition

    The real competitive picture: direct competitors, co-tenant mix, saturation vs. headroom, and how this block compares to similar corridors.

    Risk & verification

    Lease/vacancy signals, building facts, data gaps, and exactly what to verify on the ground before you commit. Every claim carries its source and date.

    Why not just use CoStar?

    CoStar and LoopNet are listings and comps. FWDRE answers the questions they don't: is this ground-floor storefront alive right now, what concept actually fits, and which brands are moving into this corridor — fused from the city's own daily data. And we tell you our confidence. When the data is thin, the report says so.

    Two reports. Pick your side of the deal.

    Founder pricing — every report is delivered in ~5 business days and QA-verified before it goes out.
