ATTOM Data Solutions has launched its Building Permit data solution containing more than 200 million residential and commercial building permits nationwide. ATTOM’s building permit data provides users with insight into the life of residential and commercial properties, allowing for predictive analytics and decision-making. The data is updated monthly and covers 94% of the nation’s top cities. “Building permits identify key events in a property’s history,” said Sean Mooney, vice president of product management at ATTOM Data Solutions. “Knowing the types of construction or remodeling projects that have occurred on a property—as well as the cost and completion dates of that work—really empowers anyone who is assessing risk or providing valuation services to make more informed decisions.” ATTOM’s Building Permit data includes more than 30 permit classifiers (e.g., solar installation, foundations, roofing), permit status, cost of job, description of job, contractor information and more.

Land brokerage firm The Hoffman Company has hired Patrick Simons to lead the company’s expansion into the multifamily sector. Simons, a 25-year veteran in multifamily development, will join the firm as senior vice president and managing director of multifamily markets. “Although The Hoffman Company has occasionally assisted multifamily clients over the years, our core business has always been single-family lots for home-builders. We believe our firm has much to offer multifamily clients as well and are excited to have Patrick here to lead that effort,” said company president and co-owner Norm Scheel. Among the services Simons will offer are land acquisition tailored to the specific needs of multifamily clients as well as strategic disposition for owners of sites that either are or can be entitled for multifamily use. Simons has held executive positions with publicly traded and privately held apartment investment and development companies. He founded an international consulting practice advising both large institutional and small private clients on multifamily assets.
