Req # AF-2022-00094

I would like to obtain a list or database of managers or owners of at least three buildings (residential or commercial) in Montreal over the past 2-5 years. I do not need the contact information of these companies/individuals, only their names and addresses. The aim is to depict on an infographic the share of individuals/businesses/investment funds that own buildings in Montreal, but also to see which neighbourhoods see the concentration of management companies. Ideally, the desired file type would be an XLSX, GEOJSON, or CSV file, in order to be able to analyze the data and draw statistics from it, or to be able to map them. Thank you!
