TCAR (www.TCAR.com), the Triangle Commercial Association of REALTORS®, announces today the integration of its commercial real estate exchange portal, Tacquire, into the Town of Chapel Hill’s economic development website. Titled www.opentobusiness.biz, the site provides information for businesses considering calling Chapel Hill home. Tacquire’s portal provides visitors with real-time property and listing data.

“We’ve launched our new site to make it easier for prospective business owners to find supporting real estate information,” says Dwight Bassett, Town of Chapel Hill economic development officer. “Tacquire’s added capabilities will provide accurate and comprehensive listings at their fingertips.”

The Tacquire web portal tracks office, industrial, retail and specialty space available for lease across the Triangle region, as well as buildings and land being marketed for sale. The database is set up to be searchable by location, property type, price range and square footage. Results can be printed, converted to a PDF, or emailed.

“Having easily accessible, up-to-date information is a key to maintaining the growth of a community,” says Kim Brennan, TCAR executive officer. “We are proud to partner with the Town of Chapel on its new site and look forward to working with them as it progresses.”

This is the fourth partnership TCAR has entered in to this year. In addition to working with the Town of Chapel Hill, the organization has also integrated its Tacquire search database into the Raleigh Economic Development (www.raleigh4u.com), the Wake County Economic Development (www.raleigh-wake.org) and Downtown Raleigh Alliance (www.YouRHere.com) websites.
