Whether a start-up or a business simply looking for new space, online property search tools are vital to finding a new business location.

Both CoStar and LoopNet are popular services and enable both commercial brokers and individuals to search for available business locations. As a property owner, you may include your listing in both services at no charge for a basic listing. Property listings can include details including a space description, square footage, photographs, and pricing. Follow the instructions below to ensure your listing is viewable to your potential tenants and always feel free to contact the Department of Economic Development for additional resources.
