We have advised CoStar Group, a leading provider of online real estate marketplaces, information and analytics in the commercial and residential property markets, on the acquisition of Business Immo, France’s premier commercial real estate news service.

Business Immo was founded in 2004 and has grown rapidly as an online property news source with national coverage of the French commercial real estate market. Today, Business Immo is widely recognised as a leading digital commercial real estate news provider in France.
