NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., June 04, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Green Street, the preeminent provider of commercial real estate intelligence and analytics in the U.S. and Europe, has acquired Locatus – the leading Netherlands-based provider of top-quality, independently sourced data and analytics for the retail sector in the Benelux region.
