LightBox

LightBox is a leading real estate information and technology platform that provides data analytics and location intelligence solutions for the commercial real estate (CRE) industry. The company offers a comprehensive suite of tools and services designed to facilitate transparency, efficiency, insight, and prediction for real estate investment and location analytics. LightBox's core connected data infrastructure includes parcels, building footprints, structures, and addresses, which are linked through a unique identifier called the Lightbox ID (LID).

LightBox's services cater to various segments of the CRE ecosystem, including brokers, developers, investors, lenders, insurers, technology providers, environmental consultants, and valuation professionals. The company's SmartFabric dataset serves as a foundational dataset for customers to build upon, providing a single, consistent source of truth with up-to-date, accurate data.

LightBox offers data feed and APIs that allow customers to solve complex business needs across the commercial real estate ecosystem. The company's solutions help CRE firms enter the digital age by making efficient use of the vast amount of available data. LightBox has made significant investments to acquire companies with deep domain expertise and has integrated them to offer insights into the entire CRE transaction lifecycle.
