What we'll cover

1

Market Intelligence and Site Discovery

Identify high-potential multifamily markets using integrated demographic, rent comp and zoning data. Screen parcels at scale with Regrid and narrow your pipeline to sites worth pursuing.

2

Site Constraints and Due Diligence

Run desktop due diligence using environmental, flood, easement and setback layers. Identify red flags before spending on consultants and build constraint reports in minutes.

3

Revenue Modelling with HelloData.ai

Pull real-time rent comps and benchmark your investment thesis. Match unit mix to market rents, run sensitivity models and project time to stabilisation and IRR.

4

Site Planning and Yield Optimisation

Generate site plans using codified product standards — wraps, podiums, towers. Connect plans to revenue and cost models to streamline feasibility from the start.
