Background
CoStar Group has launched its flagship commercial real estate platform in France, expanding its presence in one of Europe’s largest property markets as the company continues its international growth strategy.
The new platform follows CoStar’s acquisitions of BureauxLocaux and Business Immo and combines years of local research with the company’s global property database. It offers investors, brokers, property owners, occupiers and lenders access to property records, live listings, verified sales and lease data, market reports, industry news and real-time analytics through a single platform.
At launch, the French platform includes information on more than 290,000 commercial properties, 385,000 commercial tenants, 90,000 active property listings and 75,000 lease and sales records. It also provides more than 134 market reports covering major markets, including Greater Paris, Lyon and Marseille.
The expansion strengthens CoStar’s international network of more than 320,000 commercial real estate subscribers and is expected to increase cross-border business opportunities while supporting recurring subscription revenue.
The launch comes even as CoStar’s shares have fallen more than 55% this year. Investors remain concerned about the company’s heavy investment in Homes.com, rising competition in the online property market and weaker conditions in commercial real estate.
Notwithstanding the above difficulties, CoStar projects its income for the second quarter of 2026 at somewhere between $922 million and $932 million. Moreover, CoStar keeps on expanding its platform through innovative data products and AI-powered tools, thus strengthening its market position in the global commercial real estate information sector.
