Source acquisition targets across the US and Canada.
Every acquisition starts with the same question: who owns what, for how long, and what are they doing with it. VIREC answers it with signals built from verified public records.
Confirmed ownership transfers across US counties and Canadian provinces. Thousands of commercial transactions per quarter, including address, asset class, sale date, and buyer/seller owner IDs.
Verified owners who completed commercial acquisitions or dispositions in a selected time window. See who is accumulating in your target submarket this quarter, and who is exiting positions.
Commercial property owners holding the same asset for 10+ consecutive years. Tens of thousands across the US and Canada. Most likely to entertain an acquisition conversation.
Commercial properties where the owner mailing address differs from the property address. Hundreds of thousands identified -the standard signal in off-market acquisition targeting.
Owners holding 3+ properties for 5+ years each with zero permit activity across the portfolio. No improvements. No redevelopment. Possible exit or JV candidates.
Active sellers, exit-stage owners, foreign ownership, capital-active operators, and more -assembled from registry, permit, and ownership data.
Track development activity by market and quarter.
Permits are the earliest public signal of what is getting built, torn down, or converted. For investors and developers, permit data validates a market thesis and reveals competitor activity before the construction fence goes up.
See where construction is concentrating before it's obvious.
Commercial building permits organized by market and quarter. See where activity is concentrating and how volume is trending. Validate a development thesis with data instead of assumptions, assess supply pipeline risk before committing capital, and track how fast a submarket is changing.
The earliest signal of incoming vacant land.
A demolition permit appears in the public record before any site plan, before any rezoning application, before any listing. A cluster on adjacent parcels signals a larger assemblage may be underway, or that an area is being cleared for redevelopment.
Either way, the signal arrives months before anything else in the market confirms the trend. Tracking commercial demolition permits by submarket and quarter gives you that lead time.

Analytical Insights
This sample is highly concentrated in mission-driven housing ownership. That matters because ownership behavior in this group is typically shaped by housing policy, affordability mandates, and long-term stewardship rather than short-horizon value-add turnover. If your goal is to identify acquisition-minded private buyers, this preview suggests the current filter is surfacing the largest holders in the category, not necessarily the most transaction-active private capital. There is also a meaningful difference between filtered…

Specific to acquisition workflows and off-market sourcing.
VIREC identifies off-market acquisition targets by filtering commercial property owners by tenure, portfolio size, and capital activity. Long-tenure owners holding 10+ years and dormant multi-property owners with 3+ properties and zero permit activity represent the highest-probability off-market opportunities.
VIREC compiles confirmed ownership transfers from land registry data across US counties and Canadian provinces. The Recently Sold Properties signal includes thousands of confirmed commercial transactions per quarter with property address, asset class, sale date, and buyer/seller information.
VIREC's Active Buyers signal identifies verified owners who completed commercial acquisitions in a selected time window. Filter by market, asset class, and time period to see who is accumulating properties in your target submarket.
Dormant multi-property owners are commercial property holders with 3 or more properties, each held for 5+ years, with zero building permit activity. This combination signals an owner who has not invested capital in their portfolio and may be open to selling or entering a joint venture.
Commercial building permit data reveals where construction activity is concentrating by market and quarter, validating development theses and tracking competitor projects. Demolition permits specifically signal incoming vacant land and redevelopment opportunities before any other public indicator.
