See What AI Search Can Do
This isn't a keyword filter with a chatbot skin. VIREC AI Search is an agentic intelligence engine that combines VIREC's internal database with live web research, public records, government filings, brokerage reports, permit databases, corporate news, and more, to answer complex CRE questions that no single database can handle alone.
Property Intelligence
“Lookup the property at 1000 rue De La Gauchetière Ouest in Montreal - provide a property report including ownership, transaction history, and recent activity.”
Get a property profile in seconds: structural details, assessed value, transaction history, current ownership, debt, tenants, and recent signals - compiled from internal records and live web sources.
Property Matchmaking
“Find industrial properties in the Montérégie region in the 50,000–150,000 SF range with assessed value between $5M and $15M.”
Define your criteria in natural language. VIREC searches across asset classes, geographies, and value ranges to surface matching properties - no filters to configure, no boolean logic to remember.
Ownership & Entity Research
“Research the entity Groupe Immobilier XYZ Inc. - identify administrators, related entities, and associated properties across Quebec and Ontario.”
VIREC's agentic OSINT engine searches the Registre des entreprises du Québec (REQ), provincial corporate registries, Secretary of State filings, court records, and news sources to map the entity structure, administrators, related holding companies, and associated properties in our database.
People & Deal Matchmaking
“Find potential buyers for a multilogement investment at 200 avenue des Pins in Montreal - identify active buyer profiles matching this asset type and price range.”
AI Search analyzes recent transactions, investor activity, and market signals to surface likely buyers, with recent acquisitions, typical deal size, and asset class focus for each match.
Rental Intelligence
“What rent should I underwrite for a new construction multilogement property in Griffintown, Montreal? Provide at least three comparable properties.”
Get underwriting-grade rent estimates grounded in current listings, comparable properties, and brokerage reports, with notes on asking vs. effective rents and market concessions where available.
Market Analysis
“Compare multifamily market fundamentals across Montreal, Quebec City, and Ottawa - vacancy, rent trends, cap rates, pipeline, and employment drivers.”
Side-by-side market comparisons drawing from brokerage reports, economic data, and market news, formatted for investment memos and committee presentations.
Tenant & Company Intelligence
“Assess the financial health of [Company Name] as a tenant - revenue trends, credit indicators, recent material events, and risk signals.”
AI Search scans corporate filings, news, press releases, and corporate databases to deliver a risk profile on any company, whether you're evaluating them as tenant, borrower, operating partner, or guarantor.
Development & Construction Pipeline
“What is the industrial development pipeline in the Greater Montreal area? Show projects under construction and planned starts with square footage and delivery timelines.”
Track what's being built, where, and when it may deliver, sourced from permit databases, brokerage reports, and construction news.
News & Market Signals
“What distress and foreclosure signals are affecting office properties in downtown Montreal?”
Surface the signals that matter: distress indicators, corporate relocations, market-moving transactions, and regulatory changes, filtered by asset class and geography.
