Visual Lease, a CoStar Group brand, has been named a 2026 Influencer in CRE Technology by GlobeSt.
The GlobeSt. program recognizes individuals, organizations and teams shaping commercial real estate technology. The award highlights contributions that advance how the industry manages and uses data.
CoStar Group acquired Visual Lease in 2024 to complement its CoStar Real Estate Manager business line. The platform centralizes lease data and applies analytics to provide visibility into lease obligations, costs, risks and portfolio performance. It also supports compliance with accounting standards and enables coordination across finance, real estate, legal and IT teams.
“As innovation continues to transform the commercial real estate landscape, organizations need actionable intelligence as opposed to traditional compliance tools,” Mark McDonald, president of Visual Lease and CoStar Real Estate Manager, said. “We are honored by this recognition, which reinforces our mission to empower finance and real estate leaders with accurate, centralized lease data to support their goals.”
The recognition reflects the growing role of integrated lease management platforms in helping organizations navigate complexity and make more informed real estate decisions.
