Commercial real estate intelligence and analytics provider Green Street has acquired Locatus, a Netherlands-based provider of independently sourced data and analytics for the retail sector in the Benelux region. Locatus is Green Street’s fourth acquisition since 2020, and it follows the late 2023 acquisition of Local Data Company (LDC) – a U.K. industry retail location data provider.
“Locatus’ commitment to being the gold standard provider of locational retail data in the Benelux market and its great talent make a strong fit for Green Street. Its deep Benelux retail coverage accelerates our commitment to expanding property-level data and analytics and is complementary to the U.K. acquisition of Local Data Company last year,” said Jeffry Stuek Jr., Green Street’s CEO. “We’re excited to integrate these capabilities to provide our clients with the most comprehensive and premiere property-level retail analytics available in the region.”
For more than 20 years, Locatus has compiled independent and proprietary retail information and data on all shops and consumer-oriented service companies, starting in the Netherlands, and then expanding into the broader Benelux region and other large European cities. Locatus offers comprehensive property-level insights on 400,000-plus Benelux retail outlets, including catchment area, footfall data and robust analytics on vacancy, health and more. Locatus services a wide range of customer segments including authority, retailer, investor, developers, consultants and more.
“We see great opportunities to further expand our retail database to other European countries,” said Gerard Zandbergen, Locatus CEO. “Furthermore, the Green Street infrastructure will help us to further improve our capabilities to service our customers with high-quality data and state of the art dashboards,”
