Interested in the Chicago Zoning Map?
The Chicago zoning map is currently the most analyzed among all metropolitan cities. We looked into it, and it makes sense; Chicago is amidst a dozen mega development projects.
Looking for Multifamily Development Opportunities?
Searching by units allowed is most straightforward in cities with zoning ordinances that include a unit-density value. This metric can vary from city to city and even within zoning ordinances.
Why is the total buildable area the ultimate zoning value?
Total buildable area normalizes parcels and allows us to compare how much we can build, apples to apples. At the city scale, this metric gives us an instant snapshot of where a city is planning its growth.
What is a development multiple?
A development multiple tells us how much development potential there is on any given property. It is an abstraction of how much room there is left for development.
Can the Inland Empire be the foundation for a circular city?
There are benefits beyond having our “One-Step Hair Dryer and Volumizer” delivered on the same day. We’d have an opportunity for a truly circular economy. With this hybrid city, we reduce the need for transportation of all things.
Can industrial warehouses and residential zoning coexist?
The only way to fulfill nearly instant delivery expectations is to bring the warehouses closer to our homes.
