BrightCat Data launches five Canadian property intelligence products on Snowflake Marketplace

April 2026 — BrightCat Data has published five distinct Canadian property data products on Snowflake Marketplace, giving enterprise data teams direct access to Canadian residential and commercial property intelligence through Snowflake Secure Data Share. The Marketplace listings cover 5.8 million residential properties and 297,000 commercial properties across all ten Canadian provinces.

The five Marketplace listings — BrightCat Listings, BrightCat Sold, BrightCat Rentals, BrightCat Commercial, and BrightCat Core — are delivered as live, read-only data shares rather than through file transfer. The model eliminates the ingestion pipelines, schema-drift handling, and ETL overhead traditionally associated with property data integration.

Snowflake Secure Data Share mounts the provider's dataset into the consumer's Snowflake account as a read-only database. No file transfer, no ingestion, no transformation. Queries run directly against the provider's tables inside the consumer's own compute environment.

What is available

Weekly refresh, continuous since 2014

Each product inherits the cadence of the underlying BrightCat pipeline, which has operated on a continuous weekly refresh schedule since 2014. When the provider updates the source, the change is immediately visible to every Snowflake consumer querying the share. There is no file drop, no batch load, and no pipeline to maintain on the consumer side.

BrightCat's primary data share is hosted in Azure Canada Central, the most common region for Canadian enterprise consumers. Cross-region access is supported through Snowflake's replication mechanism for consumers in other regions.

Sample data and commercial access

Every Marketplace listing includes a sample schema that prospective consumers can query before entering a commercial agreement. Once a commercial license is in place, the consumer receives the full production schema under the same delivery mechanism.

"The enterprise data teams we work with in Canadian banking, insurance, and telecom have been asking for a Snowflake-native delivery path for several years," said Alexandria Goldthorpe, founder of BrightCat Data. "The Marketplace listings close that gap. The data is already where the team's systems are."

Three delivery paths

Snowflake Marketplace is one of three delivery paths BrightCat now supports. The others are the BrightCat MCP Connector for AI-native access from Claude and other LLMs, and traditional flat-file delivery (Parquet or CSV) for teams whose environment does not yet include Snowflake. The underlying dataset is identical across all three paths; only the delivery mode differs.
