New business leads for property management companies in Portland & Vancouver, WA

A new apartment building, office or retail center needs a manager before it leases up, and owners choose one while the building is still under construction. A new-building permit means a property that will need leasing, maintenance and tenant management within a year; a pre-application conference is the same project at the planning stage, often a year or more earlier, when the owner is still deciding how it will be run.

Launch Lookout pulls new-building permits from Portland Permitting & Development, Clark County and the City of Vancouver every day, along with Clark County pre-application conferences, and maps them around your office. Permit descriptions say what is being built, so apartments, mixed-use and commercial buildings are easy to tell apart.

The owner or developer behind the permit is the one who hires the manager, and the public record names the applicant. Many permits carry a valuation, so you can judge the size of the property before you reach out. Tenant-improvement permits are on the map in your account too, which shows which existing buildings are changing tenants.
