In Episode 25 of CHIA Podcast, Chia-Yi Tung welcomes François Harvey to discuss how geomatics is transforming the way commercial real estate professionals analyze markets, evaluate opportunities, and make investment decisions.
Location has always been one of the most important factors in real estate. Today, advances in geomatics allow investors, developers, brokers, and property owners to go beyond traditional market analysis by combining geographic information, demographic trends, urban planning data, transportation networks, and market intelligence to better understand opportunities and risks.
The conversation explores the role of geomatics in commercial real estate analysis, how geographic data influences investment decisions, and the practical applications of mapping and spatial analysis tools for brokers, developers, investors, and municipalities. François also shares insights into market analysis techniques, territory planning strategies, and emerging trends shaping Montréal’s commercial real estate landscape.
One of the key themes of the discussion is that better decisions begin with better data. Understanding how people, businesses, infrastructure, mobility patterns, and urban growth interact can provide a significant competitive advantage when evaluating development opportunities and investment projects.
Through conversations with industry experts and market leaders, CHIA Podcast explores the ideas, trends, and professionals shaping the future of commercial real estate, urban development, investment, and innovation across Québec.
