New business leads for commercial realtors in Portland & Vancouver, WA

A pre-application conference is the earliest public sign that a project exists: an owner or developer meets the county about a site before any permit is filed. Demolition permits say a site is being cleared; new-building permits say what is going up; build-out permits say which spaces are being filled and which tenants moved.

Launch Lookout pulls Clark County pre-application records and building, demolition and tenant-improvement permits from Clark County, the City of Vancouver and the City of Portland every Monday, and maps them so you can see activity by submarket.

For brokers and property managers this is a weekly read on where space is changing hands and where new inventory will arrive, months before a listing. A tenant building out a space somewhere else may be leaving a space you can lease. Every lead links to the original public record, so you can check the applicant, scope and valuation before you pick up the phone.
