tiered SaaS subscription; no free tier Win & Set Up the Work

AI-powered real estate development and site-selection platform covering 126+ US cities (NYC five boroughs, Philadelphia, Jersey City, Miami, and others). Core capabilities: automated zoning reports with 20+ computed values per parcel (buildable area by FAR, lot coverage, max units, height limits), city-wide property screening by total buildable area, a "Zoning Signal" algorithm detecting how municipal zoning changes alter development potential, 3D massing and financial pro forma generation, a ChatDB demographic/economic data query tool, and AIM (deal-flow CRM). Founded 2017. No public API.

Agent-hostile

1.8 /5 composite score

Useful for zoning due diligence in covered cities -- buildable FAR, max units, setbacks, and height limits computed per parcel across 126+ US cities with 3D massing and "Zoning Signal" change-detection, but coverage is limited to specific calibrated cities (not nationwide), no public API (RF2), and tiered pricing from $99/month with no free tier.

Development Feasibility & Pro Forma

Combines zoning data with 3D massing and financial pro forma generation for a development feasibility workflow; useful for early-stage development screening in covered cities, though limited geographic coverage and no integrations with BIM/design tools constrain the use case.

Alternatives in Permitting & Zoning

Zoneomics

AI-powered zoning data platform standardizing municipal zoning ordinances across 25,000+ U.S. cities and 14,000+ Canadian/US cities for the Bassett AI assistant. Delivers zoning districts, permitted uses, FAR/height/setback/coverage controls, and overlays in four formats: web platform, tiered zoning reports (Brief/Summary/Full/Verification Letter), a documented Zoning Data API with a free tier (100,000 free API calls on the Tiling Service tier), and Bulk Data. Powers the zoning data layer inside TestFit (Site Solver) and Autodesk Forma (Autodesk-Zoneomics partnership Aug 2024). Also a Moody's data partner.
