The short version
Cityscope is Cotality's Australian commercial property database. It records tenants, building owners, managing agents, lease information and tenancy mix across office, retail, industrial and development sites in all capital cities and selected regional centres, with a lease expiry diary and access by web, API or data feed. For building-level research it is trusted and thorough.
Scayledis an occupier intelligence platform. Around the property, it returns every business nearby, the person who decides at each and a drafted email. Across the market, it finds businesses anywhere in Australia whose operations fit the property's size, use and type. Every occupier found is tracked for signs it will need space, and everything stays in your own Occupier Database.
Cityscope answers "who is in this building, and when does their lease end". Scayled answers "who would take this building, who decides there, and what do I send them".

Put plainly
If you need the tenancy schedule, ownership and lease expiries of a Sydney CBD tower or a Melbourne industrial estate, Cityscope gives you the record. That supports vendor pitches, tenant rep advisory and market analysis.
If you have a building to fill and want the businesses most likely to take it, including ones in other suburbs or states whose operations fit it, then the decision maker and a first email for each, that is Scayled. The Sydney method is in industrial real estate leads in Sydney, and the office version in how to get office leasing leads.
Who should stay with Cityscope?
- Office and retail agents who rely on building tenancy schedules in the capital city markets
- Tenant rep and corporate advisory teams that prospect from lease expiries
- Valuers, research teams and landlords who need building-level records
For those jobs Cityscope is the right tool. Scayled adds the outbound and tracking layer. For the wider Cotality comparison, see the alternative to CoreLogic (Cotality) for Australian brokers.
