Site Selection Services

     Finding the right land starts with the right process. This service specializes in preliminary site selection for a wide range of land uses across the U.S., leveraging GIS data, zoning analysis, and web mapping to identify viable opportunities.

     Zoning designations and permitted uses vary widely between municipalities, which is why a tailored approach is essential. This service identifies sites based on your preliminary criteria first, and then refines them through a multi-step process with approximately 50 stages. This approach solves a key pain point for land investors by filtering out unsuitable options early from hundreds of thousands of parcels across dozens of jurisdictions. A simplified and focused set of realistic locations remains, delivered in a format that is easily accessible from your phone. No extra software, apps, or subscriptions needed.

     This service is not meant to replace your existing tools and 3rd party resources, but if you are currently losing valuable time on sites that this service was designed to eliminate, while also surfacing hidden opportunities, then what is the real cost of not using it?
