Welcome to Deepblocks, where we’re redefining how real estate development opportunities are identified and analyzed. For our new followers, this post offers a comprehensive look into who we are, what we do, and how our AI-powered platform is transforming the real estate industry.
Who We Are: AI-Driven Real Estate Analysis
Deepblocks was founded in 2016 with a vision: to leverage artificial intelligence for uncovering untapped investment opportunities in real estate. Our technology is positioned to recognize the patterns and preferences of professional investors and funds, enabling scalable deal sourcing across multiple cities. We’re able to do this effectively because we maintain one of the largest datasets of digitized zoning data at the parcel level.
Our Journey: Building a Foundation for AI
When we started, no single dataset existed that would tell you, citywide, how much could be built on each property. We spent three years digitizing zoning data across 30 cities—essentially building what didn’t exist. Over the next three years, we expanded that to 250 additional cities and improved our automation techniques. Today, we teach AI how to read zoning documents and map them to the corresponding parcels.
Why Zoning Digitization Is Complex
-
Unique Codes and Language: Each city structures its zoning code differently, using local terminology and specific rules.
-
Complex Logic and Motivations: Municipalities adapt zoning to community needs and political climates, making the data highly variable.
-
Model Network: Our approach involves multiple AI models, each trained on specific zoning concepts, working together to interpret and digitize new cities.
This network of models is supported by a robust infrastructure that connects original data sources with our software, ensuring continuous updates and accuracy.
The Deepblocks Software: Visualizing Potential
Deepblocks software brings zoning data to life, allowing you to:
-
Explore Thousands of Properties: Filter by criteria such as parcels allowing more than 50 units but currently having less than 5,000 square feet of built space.
-
3D Modeling: Evaluate individual parcels with a conceptual 3D model of what can be built under the current code.
-
Financial Projections: Generate estimates of income, expenses, and construction costs, all within the same platform.
As we fine-tune our AI models, the software will evolve into a tool where AI itself drives the analysis. We envision a future where investors can simply query the platform and receive recommendations backed by data-driven insights, with minimal human intervention.
Our Revenue Model
Deepblocks generates revenue primarily through software subscriptions. Our PRO tier allows investors to Query Cities: Identify underutilized parcels across hundreds of markets.
For enterprise clients, we offer access to Zoning Signals: Highlight opportunities triggered by recent zoning changes. Additionally we offer custom AI model training within their own workflow. As they use our platform, the AI learns their specific criteria and investment style, becoming more effective at automatically sourcing new deals.
Conclusion: Shaping the Future of Real Estate
Deepblocks is more than just a software platform; it’s an evolving ecosystem designed to reimagine how we source, analyze, and act on real estate opportunities. By digitizing zoning data, training AI to think like seasoned investors, and creating interactive tools for real-time insights, we’re positioning our users at the forefront of a new wave in property investment.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. In the coming months, we’ll share more about our latest technologies and the future of AI-driven real estate analysis.
