Thomas Daily

What Thomas Daily does

Thomas Daily GmbH is a German commercial real estate information provider headquartered in Freiburg, operating as a wholly owned subsidiary of CoStar Group. Founded in 2000 with 11-50 employees, the company focuses exclusively on the German commercial real estate market and positions TD Premium as the largest dedicated data pool in the country, combining building and project records, transaction histories, market-actor profiles, and daily editorial news in a single searchable platform.

The core product is TD Premium, a subscription-based web platform that integrates multiple data modules: a building and project database with historical tracking, transaction records, an investor and expansion profile database of approximately 1,250 entries, the annual TD 100 Cities Survey covering more than 100 German cities and 1,000+ local market experts, the TD TOP DEALS annual transaction ranking with exclusive pricing, and TD Premium News (approximately 50 articles published daily). The free TD Morning News newsletter, reaching 40,000+ industry subscribers, functions as a top-of-funnel lead generator that feeds into paid TD Premium subscriptions, alongside banner advertising inventory.

The business model is primarily recurring subscription revenue from enterprise customers, supplemented by newsletter advertising and freemium conversion. Distribution is sales-led through five regional offices (Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich) in addition to Freiburg, with a hybrid of field sales directors and an inside-sales team handling inbound inquiries, product demonstrations, and customer support. The customer base spans commercial real estate brokers, investors, project developers, asset managers, real estate financiers, and research teams, with named enterprise users including BNP Paribas Real Estate, Taunus Sparkasse, apoprojekt, Dr. Münzer Holding, Strategis AG, and Anteon Immobilien. Operating geographies are limited to Germany.

Broad incumbents

• CoStar Group: Parent company and the dominant global provider of commercial real estate information, analytics, and online marketplace services. While Thomas Daily is the German subsidiary, CoStar's broader portfolio (CoStar, LoopNet, Apartments.com) competes in the same data-services category with significantly greater geographic and product breadth.
• Avison Young: Global commercial real estate services firm with offices in Germany and a research practice producing German and European market intelligence reports. Competes in the same German CRE data/research category as TD Premium but offers these capabilities as part of a broader advisory services platform.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global CRE services firm operating in Germany with a research practice producing market reports, investment analytics, and occupier insights. Comparable to TD Premium on the research and data side, though Cushman & Wakefield's core business is brokerage and advisory rather than data subscription.
• Engel & Völkers: German-headquartered global real estate services company with commercial property brokerage and market intelligence offerings. While primarily a brokerage, it publishes German CRE market data and serves many of the same broker, investor, and developer segments as Thomas Daily.
• Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL): Global commercial real estate services firm that publishes extensive German and European real estate market research, capital markets data, and investor intelligence through its Research arm. Overlaps with TD Premium's market intelligence offering but bundled within a much wider brokerage and advisory services portfolio.
• CBRE Group: World's largest commercial real estate services firm with a substantial German presence and a dedicated CBRE Research division that publishes market reports, transaction data, and investor trends for German CRE — directly comparable intelligence product to TD Premium, though bundled into broader advisory services.
• MSCI Real Capital Analytics: Provider of global commercial real estate transaction data, cap rate analytics, and investor intelligence used by major institutional investors. Comparable to TD Premium's transaction-tracking and investor profile modules, but operating at a much larger global scale with institutional-grade analytics.

Direct peers

• Immobilien Zeitung (IZ): Leading German-language newspaper covering commercial and residential real estate markets, with paid content, market reports, and data services. Comparable to TD Premium's daily news and market reporting components, serving the same German CRE professional audience.
• Bulwiengesa AG: German real estate research and consulting firm that produces market reports, city analyses, and transaction data on the German commercial property market. Directly comparable to Thomas Daily's TD Premium in product scope, customer base (German CRE investors, brokers, developers), and data-driven subscription model.

Regional players

• Catella AB: European real estate advisory firm with German operations providing investment advisory, research, and market analysis across German and Nordic CRE markets. Comparable to TD Premium on the research and market intelligence side, though Catella's primary business is investment banking rather than data subscriptions.
