Open-source ยท all aboard

Get on the Bus.

CRE, finally online.

PropertyBus is open infrastructure for commercial real estate: a shared data layer for properties, spaces, tenants, plans, media, listings, and the AI systems that need to understand them.

// Not another portal. A common language for property data.
// (Yes, the bus pun is intentional. We're committed.)

01Why this exists

The industry is full of data.
It just cannot move.

Commercial real estate still runs on scattered PDFs, stale spreadsheets, locked portals, copied plans, fragmented tenant lists, and relationships trapped in private inboxes.

Every team rebuilds the same pipelines. Every property is described five different ways. Every AI system that touches CRE has to relearn the basics from scratch.

The commercial real estate internet should have better rails.

02What PropertyBus provides

An open property graph for CRE.

A property graph that brokers can use, developers can build on, and AI agents can understand โ€” built in public where it matters, productized where it helps.

Shared schemas

Properties, spaces, tenants, leases, media โ€” defined once, used everywhere.

Adapters & connectors

Move records out of locked portals into structured, interoperable form.

Plan format

An open annotation format for floorplans, suite boundaries, and parcels.

CSV import mapping

Standard mappings so spreadsheets stop being a one-way data grave.

Crawler output spec

A defined shape for scraped property data โ€” comparable across sources.

MCP tools for AI

Property records that AI agents can actually read, query, and reason over.

03Open-source foundation

The foundation keeps the rails open.

PropertyBus.org is the open-source side of the project โ€” a nonprofit foundation. Its job is simple: keep the schemas, formats, and reference implementations open, neutral, and useful to the entire ecosystem.

  • Open specifications under permissive licenses
  • Reference implementations and sample datasets
  • Public roadmap, public issues, public RFCs
  • Neutral governance as the foundation forms
// From flyers and spreadsheets to connected records.
04Who it is for

Built for everyone the data already touches.

Developers
Build on a real property graph instead of stitching PDFs.
Brokers & landlords
Make listings, spaces, and rosters portable and current.
Tenants
See accurate, comparable space across owners and markets.
Data providers
Publish into a shared shape instead of bespoke exports.
Civic & planning
Work with parcels and plans in open formats.
AI builders
Ground agents in structured, source-traceable property facts.
CRE operators
Stop rebuilding the same pipeline at every firm.
The wider web
A common language so property data can simply move.
