IPSX
Building the digital foundations for the first regulated property exchange
About the project
IPSX, the International Property Securities Exchange, operated the first dedicated exchange globally for commercial property assets. It provided a public stock market solely for the admission and trading of shares in companies owning and managing individual commercial property assets. We were proud to have been appointed to develop their website.

The challenge
IPSX needed a public facing website to both explain and promote their business as well as display market data from the securities listed on the exchange. The latter requirement was critical as IPSX is strictly regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). It is a mandatory requirement for an exchange to make trading and financial data on the instruments traded on it available to investors, so developing a robust solution to meet this requirement was paramount to the success of their business. The brief was made even more complex due to additional datasets, such as information relating to the properties (the “underlying assets”) that were being listed, needing to be displayed alongside the market data. Think London Stock Exchange + Zoopla!
The solution
Through a series of workshops we mapped out an architecture for the website and its environment that the regulators would be satisfied with. The resulting website integrated and displayed data from multiple sources, including:
- Live Prices
- Trading data including latest trades as well as pre and post trade transparency data
- Details of the underlying assets including photos
- Income analytics data relating to the tenants within the underlying assets

We were very pleased to work with Blue Flamingo in the delivery of our website. It is fundamental to our business success that the website is robust and provides accurate data.
