Welcome! We’re diving into how real estate data can reshape cities with smarter zoning, fairer housing, and resilient neighborhoods. Join the conversation, share your city’s biggest challenge, and subscribe for future data-driven explorations that turn insights into action.
Framing a Data-Driven Urban Vision
From property transactions and assessed values to rental listings, vacancy rates, and building permits, real estate data reveals market momentum and unmet needs. When combined with zoning layers, demographics, and mobility data, it becomes a powerful lens for prioritizing investments and anticipating neighborhood change.
Optimizing Zoning and Land Use with Parcel-Level Insight
Finding Underutilized Parcels
By comparing land value to improvement value, we pinpoint surface parking lots, single-story buildings in high-demand areas, and mismatched uses. Layering transit access and infrastructure capacity helps shortlist sites where modest policy tweaks could unlock equitable, context-sensitive density without surprise impacts.
Testing Scenarios Before Changing the Map
Scenario tools simulate how different height limits, setbacks, or floor area ratios affect feasibility. Combining construction costs, achievable rents, and absorption curves identifies where proposed upzoning will actually deliver housing. Ask us for a sample scenario to see how a small FAR adjustment shifted outcomes.
Calibrating Incentives and Bonuses
Density bonuses and reduced parking minimums work when calibrated to real pro formas. Local rent comps, cap rates, and soft-cost assumptions inform how much incentive is needed to tip a project from marginal to viable. Want our bonus calibration checklist? Subscribe and we will send it.
Advancing Housing Affordability and Equity
Mapping cost-burdened households alongside transit access, school quality, and job density surfaces neighborhoods where modest subsidies deliver outsized mobility gains. By tracking lease renewals and eviction filings, we can time interventions to prevent displacement rather than only reacting after it occurs.
Advancing Housing Affordability and Equity
Using submarket-specific residual land value models, we gauge whether inclusionary percentages and income bands are feasible. Where requirements risk stalling construction, off-site options or fee schedules can still expand affordability. Share your city and we will outline a right-sized approach for your submarkets.

Climate Resilience in the Real Estate Equation
By layering flood zones, heat islands, and building ages with multifamily valuations and tenure data, we see where vulnerable renters face compounding risks. This guides acquisition-rehab strategies, green retrofits, and public investments that protect affordability while hardening essential housing stock.
Commercial Revitalization and Small Business Corridors
Comparing local spending potential with sales performance identifies categories missing from neighborhoods. Layering daytime population and pedestrian counts reveals where a small-format grocer or café could thrive. We prioritize sites with strong anchors and supportive zoning to minimize risk for independent operators.
Governance, Ethics, and the Data Infrastructure
We minimize re-identification risk, audit for bias in training data, and document assumptions transparently. Equity reviews and community oversight build trust, especially where data intersects with sensitive housing issues. Ethical design is not optional; it is foundational for legitimate urban decision-making.
