we're a team with development, land use and tech backgrounds who've come together to solve a big development problem: make zoning codes work for us (not against us). we wanted to turn the tables and leverage zoning codes to help find unseen development opportunities; accelerate processes for faster "go, no-go"​ decisions; and build better performing projects. we wanted to “see” a city at general and specific plan levels, use filters to search for opportunities, and seamlessly access site-specific information. we knew that it would be critical to compare what's currently on the parcel, and what the potential for the parcel could be. we also knew that adding layers such as specific plans, opportunity zones and transit corridors would be needed. we wanted to model building potential in 3d and also work on enabling “what-if?” scenarios on sites, using different development inputs, to see capacity on any given site. so we started to digitize city zoning codes and write modeling algorithms t
