Commercial Real Estate Marketplace
About the Client
Commercial SPC is a cutting-edge mobile marketplace designed specifically for commercial real estate professionals and businesses seeking the perfect location. The platform connects property owners, brokers, agents, and potential tenants or buyers through an intuitive mobile-first experience that simplifies the complex process of finding and listing commercial properties.
The client's vision was to create a comprehensive solution that would streamline commercial property transactions by providing powerful search capabilities, detailed property information, and direct communication channels between all parties involved. They wanted to make commercial real estate as accessible and easy to navigate as residential property platforms, while maintaining the professional features required for business transactions.
Our Challenge
Creating an intuitive search system that could handle complex commercial property criteria including property type (retail, office, industrial, warehouse), location-based filtering by country, state, city, and zip code, and advanced filtering for lease versus sale properties.
Developing a multi-user platform that serves different stakeholders—property owners, brokers, agents, and business seekers—each with distinct needs and workflows, while maintaining a seamless user experience across all user types.
Building robust mobile applications for both iOS and Android that provide full functionality including property listings, image galleries, contact management, and real-time notifications, ensuring professionals can work effectively on the go.
The Process
We conducted extensive research into the commercial real estate market, analyzing existing platforms and identifying gaps in functionality. We interviewed brokers, property managers, and business owners to understand their pain points with current solutions and what features would truly add value to their property search and listing process.
We designed intuitive interfaces for both property seekers and listers, focusing on mobile-first design principles. Multiple user personas were created to ensure the app served all stakeholders effectively. Interactive prototypes were tested with real estate professionals to validate our approach and refine the user flows.
We architected a scalable backend infrastructure capable of handling millions of property listings with complex search queries. The database was optimized for fast location-based searches and property filtering. We implemented secure authentication systems and built APIs that would power both mobile applications and future web integration.
Our development teams built native applications for iOS and Android platforms, ensuring optimal performance and user experience on each platform. We implemented advanced features including GPS-based property search, push notifications for new listings, in-app messaging between users, and offline property viewing capabilities.
Comprehensive testing was conducted across multiple devices and operating system versions. Beta testing with select real estate professionals provided valuable feedback that shaped final improvements. After successful App Store and Google Play approval, we launched with a targeted marketing campaign to real estate professionals.
Our Solution
We developed a comprehensive mobile platform that serves as the complete solution for commercial property search, listing, and transaction facilitation.
Advanced search functionality allowing users to find commercial properties by country, state, city, zip code, property type (retail, office, industrial, warehouse, land), and transaction type (lease or sale) with real-time filtering and map-based results.
Comprehensive property listing management for owners, brokers, and agents to advertise vacant commercial spaces with detailed descriptions, high-quality images, floor plans, amenities, pricing, and property specifications.
Direct in-app communication system enabling instant contact between property seekers and listers, facilitating quick inquiries, property tours scheduling, and negotiation without leaving the platform.
GPS-integrated map view displaying properties geographically, allowing users to visualize property locations, explore neighborhoods, and find spaces based on proximity to specific addresses or landmarks.
Native mobile applications for iOS and Android providing full marketplace functionality optimized for mobile use, with push notifications for new listings, saved searches, and message alerts.
The platform's powerful search engine enables users to quickly find exactly what they're looking for in commercial real estate. Multi-level location filtering starts broad with country selection and narrows down to specific zip codes, while property type filters allow precise targeting of retail spaces, office buildings, industrial facilities, or warehouses.
Search results can be viewed in list or map format, with detailed property cards showing key information at a glance. Users can save favorite properties, set up search alerts for new listings matching their criteria, and access their search history for easy reference. The map view provides geographic context, helping users understand property locations relative to transportation, amenities, and business districts.
Property owners, brokers, and agents have access to comprehensive listing tools that showcase properties professionally. The listing creation workflow guides users through adding all essential information including property details, pricing, square footage, zoning information, available utilities, parking details, and lease terms.
Multiple high-resolution images can be uploaded with caption support and automatic optimization for mobile viewing. Listers can manage multiple properties from a single dashboard, track views and inquiries for each listing, and receive instant notifications when potential tenants or buyers express interest. Analytics provide insights into listing performance and market interest.
The integrated messaging system connects all parties in the transaction process efficiently. Property seekers can contact listers directly from property listings with a single tap, sending inquiries or requesting additional information. Conversation history is maintained within the app for easy reference.
Push notifications ensure users never miss important messages or property updates. The system facilitates rapid response times, which is crucial in competitive commercial real estate markets. Users can share property details via email or other apps, schedule property tours directly through the platform, and maintain professional communication logs for all their property interactions.
