Climate Factors: Crexi’s Newest Feature Enables Smarter CRE Decision-Making

Proper due diligence and investment research are among the most critical aspects of making any commercial real estate decision. Both investors and brokers rely on detailed market analytics to inform their acquisition process and select the best possible properties for their needs. In support of this, Crexi is excited to introduce the newest addition to our research platform: Climate Factors.

This launch brings a suite of new features, including interactive flood and fire map overlays, Climate Risk Cards across Listings, Records, and Comps, and click-to-view modals offering deeper, property-specific risk insights. These tools are designed to help users better understand potential environmental risks and make smarter, more informed investment decisions.

What is Climate Factors?

Climate Factors is the latest addition to Crexi’s search offering, allowing users critical insight into climate change’s current or potential impact on a property. Climate data now appears on each property page and provides a high-level overview of major flood and fire risk contributors over time, based on environmental factors and building data.

Crexi’s Intelligence users now have access to dynamic, property-specific climate risk data seamlessly integrated into both the map and listing experiences. Furthermore, it’s worth noting that Crexi is one of the first CRE platforms to embed real-time climate insights directly into the property search and transaction workflow.

How to use Climate Factors

Turning our attention to functionality, Climate Factors empowers users to:

• Determine if a property has historically experienced flooding or wildfire events.
• Understand a property’s current and future climate risk.
• Estimate potential cost exposures related to climate impacts.
• Assess community and infrastructure vulnerabilities nearby.

Complementing these findings, the new overlays and risk cards allow users to visualize environmental risks within specific markets at a granular level, further strengthening acquisition strategies and due diligence.

Where Does Climate Factors Get Its Data?

Crexi sources its data in partnership with industry sources including First Street Foundation (the same data used by Zillow and Redfin), to make the information actionable and accessible for commercial real estate users. Notably, our models incorporate more than 30 years of analysis, future climate projections, and localized factors like building updates and regional adaptations.

Interestingly, while other platforms may use similar datasets, Crexi’s integration puts real estate professionals directly in control of this information during the property search and research phases.
