But it wasn’t until she was working as a construction project manager in Miami that she saw a need for software that would merge demographic, zoning, financial, and legal data
For this case study, we will focus on zoning deltas at a large scale in Queens. We’ll start with a simple query: take the potential total gross buildable area of a parcel, and find the difference between that and the total square footage of any existing buildings in it. This
Brooklyn has approximately 39,000 parcels within the qualified Opportunity Zones. Using the data provided by the Deepblocks data team, we know the zoned property use of every parcel, the potential total gross buildable [1] of each and it's lot size. If there is an existing building on it, we know
In New York City, Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx have the most parcels within Opportunity Zones. I’ve looked into potential Total Gross Buildable Area for each borough. Together with the NYC Property Use breakdown from last week, I can get a better idea of how big or small I could

New York City has a large quantity of Opportunity Zone parcels, almost four times as many as Miami. Due to the size of the dataset, I've sketched an outline of upcoming posts below, to layout how to tackle it. In keeping with my previous practice when researching Miami, I’ll start
A few weeks ago I identified D1 and D2 zoning types (Industrial and Work Place) as potential value-add targets within the Opportunity Zones. This week, I’ve circled back and have broken down the numbers below. For me, it's the D1s that offer unique zoning traits and a different type of
