SMR Launches the Commercial Building Inventory: Detailed Data on All U.S. Commercial Buildings
HACKETTSTOWN, N.J., Aug. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- SMR Research Corp. today launched the Commercial Building Inventory (CBI), the nation's most complete database of information on the commercial buildings of the United States.
CBI contains data on nearly 9 million buildings - apartment buildings, office buildings, stores and shopping centers, and more than 100 other categories.
The database includes dozens of information points about U.S. buildings, including:
-- Building owner names and addresses,
-- The estimated market value of each building,
-- The age and size of most buildings,
-- Owner occupancy
-- Structure details: number of stories, roof type, and more.
-- Contact names for many corporate building owners
"We believe this database will fill a huge information gap," declared SMR President Stuart A. Feldstein.
"Previously, few people even knew how many commercial buildings existed in the U.S., let alone what each was worth or who owned them all."
The primary purpose of the CBI is to identify new sales opportunities for manufacturers and distributors of building products, providers of building services, and contractors.
One example: Roofs wear out. The CBI can identify buildings whose age suggests a new roof will soon be needed.
For "green building" initiatives, the CBI will be ideal. It can identify which buildings are old enough to need help, which owners may invest more readily because they also work in the building, and which buildings have enough value to suggest that their owners can afford new investments.
The CBI also provides customers with an analytical capability. By matching CBI records to recent building permits, the CBI staff can assist customers in understanding the characteristics of buildings that will have specific types of improvement needs.

Founded in 1984, SMR has been a leading provider of information on consumer property and consumer lending. The CBI expands SMR's business into the commercial realm.
