Commercial real estate analytics covers everything from NOI models to lease administration. Huq handles one part of it for retail and mixed-use assets: how people use the property. Weekly foot traffic, residents versus visitors, catchment and drive time, dwell time and benchmarks against competing assets give you evidence for leasing, valuation discussions and asset management. It complements your financial and market data rather than replacing it.

Huq platform overview video: a visitor heat map

The video gives a short overview of the Huq platform, from the Explore map to Projects and reports. Look for how an asset is selected, how its foot traffic, catchment and density are shown, and how a portfolio is monitored in one place. For commercial real estate analytics, that is the asset-level evidence behind leasing and valuation work.

  • Projects: monitor every asset in a portfolio together, with status tracking and reporting for investors and lenders.
  • Shopping center and retail center types: benchmark an asset against competing centers of the same type nearby.
  • Monthly PDF location reports: KPIs against prior periods, regional and national benchmarks, dayparts and dwell time for each asset.

What is commercial real estate analytics?

Commercial real estate analytics is the work of turning property, market and financial data into decisions. It spans investment modeling, market intelligence, property management, deal sourcing and location intelligence. Most teams use several tools, each covering one part.

For retail and mixed-use assets, the location intelligence part carries real weight. Rent and occupancy depend on visits: how many people come, how often, how long they stay and where they travel from. Those numbers shape tenant demand, lease renewals and how buyers view an asset.

Huq covers that part. It measures foot traffic at any US address every week, adds catchment, drive time and density, and benchmarks an asset against competing centers of the same type. Geo-spend is available in selected markets. More than 1,000 locations are manually validated in each of Huq's 35 markets twice a year. Huq doesn't model NOI or cap rates, so it sits next to your financial models.

What's in your commercial real estate analytics report

01

Weekly foot traffic trends

Visits to the asset each week, to track performance through a hold period or after repositioning.

02

Catchment and drive time

Where visitors come from and how far they travel, to support leasing pitches and test valuation assumptions.

03

Cross-visitation between assets

Shared and unique visitors for up to 10 location pairs, useful evidence on co-tenancy and tenant mix.

04

Benchmarking vs competing assets

Foot traffic, dwell time and visit frequency at your property compared with competing centers nearby.

Asset foot traffic vs its competitive set

01

Asset foot traffic vs its competitive set

Weekly visits at your property and nearby competing centers. Share of visits shows whether the asset is gaining or losing ground in its market.

Visits by day and week part

02

Visits by day and week part

Visits by time of day and weekday show when the property is busiest, useful in conversations with food, leisure and service tenants.

Dwell time and repeat visits

03

Dwell time and repeat visits

How long visitors stay and how often they return. Rising dwell and frequency support a stronger leasing story; falling numbers flag risk early.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I get verified CRE market data?

For rents, vacancy and transactions, use established property databases and brokerage research, and check how they source records. For foot traffic, ask how the data is validated. Huq manually validates more than 1,000 locations in each of its 35 markets twice a year. In its own study, Huq visit data tracked Walmart's quarterly US net sales with 0.85 correlation.

What is a commercial real estate data platform?

A platform that brings property data into one place so you can search, analyze and report on it. Some store records such as listings, comps and rents. Others, like Huq, focus on location data: select a property on the Explore map and get weekly visits, catchment, drive time and benchmarks, with monthly PDF reports. Huq doesn't hold listings or comps.

How does foot traffic data help asset management?

It shows how an asset performs between rent reviews. Weekly visit trends highlight decline or recovery early, catchment data supports leasing pitches, and benchmarks against competing centers show where the property stands. Teams use it in tenant conversations, business plans and investment committee packs.

What's in the free commercial real estate analytics report?

An asset check for one retail or mixed-use property: weekly foot traffic trend, where visitors come from, dwell time and a benchmark against one or two competing properties. It shows how Huq's evidence would fit into your leasing or valuation work.

How often is the data updated?

Weekly. Each update adds to the trend for every property, so you can compare performance over time and report on an asset at whatever interval your investors or lenders expect.

Which US assets does Huq cover?
