The Connecticut Economic Resource Center (CERC) has launched a new version of CERC SiteFinder® (www.CTSiteFinder.com), the state's newly upgraded, most comprehensive database of commercial and industrial real estate with thousands of listings.
"In an age when today's business world demands access to readily available data, the new SiteFinder is a better, faster and more functional real estate tool for companies searching for development land or an existing building to relocate or expand in Connecticut," according to Stephen MacKenzie, vice president of business development at CERC.
SiteFinder includes new search options and greater breakdowns of property types, allowing visitors to view sites for the entire state, by particular counties or by region. Users can search for properties for sale or lease, by required use (e.g., industrial, warehouse, R&D, etc.) and with special features (e.g., rail access, cranes, outside storage, etc.), as well as obtain information about floor/space availability, and integrated mapping and demographics.
SiteFinder lists more than 2,300 properties which are maintained and updated continuously by hundreds of local real estate firms and their brokers. Since its inception in 1997, more than 10 million square feet of space in Connecticut has been leased, purchased or constructed via SiteFinder.
SiteFinder's new platform was custom built by FastFacilityTM, LLC, a developer of database programs and a nationally marketed, GIS-driven database site search tool - www.FastFacility.com.
"The new CERC SiteFinder is an ideal tool for companies, real estate professionals and economic developers searching for new locations in Connecticut," said Dennis Shea, Managing Director of FastFacility.
As part of CERC's partnership with FastFacility, all SiteFinder listings will also be posted on FastFacility.com, and FastFacility's CNN television commercial campaign will include special 30-second spots promoting SiteFinder.
