RALEIGH, N.C. (November 14, 2011) – TCAR (www.TCAR.com), the Triangle Commercial Association of REALTORS®, announces today the integration of its commercial real estate exchange portal, Tacquire, into the Wake Forest Economic Development website (www.discoverwakeforest.org). This is the fifth partnership the organization has secured in 2011, as it continues to provide real-time property and lease data to potential investors in the Triangle business community.

“TCAR and its members continue to help spur growth in our surrounding area, and we are proud to partner with the organization,” says Jennifer Gaston, Wake Forest Economic Development coordinator. “The enhanced capabilities in the Tacquire database will provide accurate and comprehensive real estate information to prospective business owners.”

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 or downloaded as a PDF.

“We are excited to partner with Wake Forest Economic Development and help in the town’s continued growth,” says Kim Brennan, TCAR executive officer. “We strive to provide the most accurate and comprehensive data available, which is key for new business development.”

In addition to working with the Wake Forest Area Chamber of Commerce, 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), the Town of Chapel Hill Economic Development (www.opentobusiness.biz) and Downtown Raleigh Alliance (www.YouRHere.com) websites.
