Nine workflows.
One platform.

Every data point a site selector needs — zoning, power, permitting, environmental risk, and financials — plus scoring to make sense of it all.

01 — Map Intelligence

AI-Classified Zoning

Zoning codes vary wildly between jurisdictions — "B-2" means something different in every county. GR1D standardizes every zoning code into a unified classification system, so you can search and compare parcels across jurisdictional boundaries without decoding local ordinances.

  • 8 standardized categories with detailed subcategories that surface the true permitted uses, density constraints, and development intent behind each code
  • Toggle zoning code labels directly on the map — no more printing and hand-labeling
  • Color-coded parcel boundaries with category filtering to isolate target zones instantly
  • Cross-jurisdiction search — find every "Heavy Industrial" parcel across multiple counties in one query

02 — Decision Support

Feasibility Scoring

Every parcel receives a composite score across four weighted dimensions. Project-type profiles automatically adjust component weights — a data center site prioritizes power access, while a logistics site prioritizes physical attributes and highway proximity.

  • Four components: Physical, Power, Zoning, Economic — each scored independently
  • Customizable scoring profiles for Data Center, Industrial, Commercial, and General development
  • Score driver badges highlight exactly what's helping or hurting each site at a glance
  • Automatic detection and flagging of infrastructure-owned parcels and non-developable structures

03 — Grid Access

Power Infrastructure

For power-intensive projects like data centers and manufacturing, grid access is make-or-break. GR1D maps every transmission line, substation, and interconnection queue position — with cost estimates and utility rate trends.

  • Nearest substation distance, voltage tier, and estimated MW capacity
  • Transmission line proximity with owner identification
  • Interconnection queue analysis — pending projects, withdrawn positions, freed capacity
  • EIA utility rate data with historical trend charts by state, sector, and utility

04 — Approval History

Entitlement Intelligence

Filing for a rezoning without knowing the jurisdiction's track record is flying blind. GR1D provides hundreds of verified development cases with outcomes, timelines, opposition patterns, and hearing body decisions — so you know what to expect before you apply.

  • Verified entitlement cases across multiple jurisdictions with real outcomes and decisions
  • Approval rates and average duration by pathway: by-right, conditional use, rezoning
  • Opposition risk scoring based on historical community pushback patterns
  • Step-by-step process timelines with hearing bodies, fees, and submission requirements

05 — Due Diligence

Site Analysis

Twenty-three computed metrics that would take an analyst hours to calculate manually. From net developable acres to breakeven lease rates, every number updates instantly when you adjust the market value estimate.

  • Net developable acres, max building footprint, FAR utilization, and coverage ratio
  • Editable market value with cascading recalculations across all derived metrics
  • Tax assessment ratio analysis — identifies over-assessed properties ripe for appeal
  • Demolition cost estimates, improvement ratio, and replacement cost analysis

06 — Financial Advantage

Incentives & Tax Strategy

Incentive programs are fragmented across federal, state, and local databases, and eligibility rules change frequently. GR1D surfaces relevant programs and tax strategies automatically based on each parcel's zoning, location, value, and sale history.

  • Opportunity Zone, Enterprise Zone, and relevant state economic development program detection with contextual explanations
  • Capital gains strategies: 1031 Exchange, OZ reinvestment, installment sale, DST
  • Property tax optimization — appeal opportunities, favorable assessment identification
  • State-specific programs: historic rehabilitation credits, forest conservation mitigation banking, agricultural transfer tax, brownfield VCP

07 — Constraint Mapping

Environmental Risk

Environmental constraints can kill a deal late in due diligence. GR1D flags FEMA flood zones, NWI wetlands, and pre-1980 structures upfront — so you know what's buildable before making an offer.

  • Composite risk assessment with severity tiers — distinguishes critical risks from cautions to prioritize due diligence
  • FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area identification with zone type (AE, VE, AO, AH)
  • National Wetlands Inventory coverage with wetland type and percentage analysis
  • Pre-1980 structure detection with environmental remediation guidance (asbestos, lead paint, Phase I ESA)
Risk Assessment
4 factors identified for this parcel based on environmental, zoning, and structural analysis.
High-Risk Flood Zone
FEMA Zone AE — Flood insurance required
Required for federally-backed mortgages. May limit ground-floor uses and increase insurance costs.
Partial Wetlands
12% of parcel — may require mitigation
Section 404 permit may be required. Mitigation ratio typically 1.5:1 to 3:1.
Rezoning Required
Agricultural zoning — variance likely needed
Estimated 8-14 month timeline based on jurisdiction history.
Pre-1980 Structure
Built 1967 (59 yrs) — potential asbestos, lead paint concerns
Phase I ESA recommended before acquisition. Remediation costs vary.
08 — Aggregation

Land Assembly

Large-format development often requires assembling multiple contiguous parcels. GR1D identifies adjacent parcels, detects same-owner holdings, and calculates combined acreage and zoning breakdowns automatically.

  • Adjacency analysis with expandable ring search radius
  • Same-owner parcel detection across the jurisdiction
  • Combined acreage, zoning category breakdown, and contiguity analysis
  • Map highlighting of assemblable parcels with score summaries
Showing directly adjacent parcels — 22.8 acres of total assemblable area across 4 owners. The combined footprint is 71% efficient (regular).
