Who Owns That NYC Building? Check Your Mobile

Some people stand in front of buildings in New York and wonder, “Who owns that?” Falkon, an iOS app released this week by RE:Tech, will inform its users about the identities of a million buildings in New York City, right in the palm of their hand. RE:Tech’s founder, Ash Zandieh, called it: “The world’s first geosearch platform to find the owners or principals of a property on mobile.”

“Falkon is a game changer. The real estate industry lacks the ability to instantly access accurate property data,” Brittany Wunsch, a vice president of commercial real estate brokerage services at JLL, said in prepared remarks via RE:Tech. “Falkon will bring a much needed layer of efficiency and productivity to the industry.”
