[Note from editor: The “Mastermind Showcase” highlights companies and news from members of GEM Diamond. Today’s showcase: CityBldr]

A SaaS-enabled product used by enterprise, mid-market and local companies in the real estate, investments, lending, AEC, and planning industries, CityBldr uses proprietary analytics to locate, analyze, and optimize underutilized properties in any real estate asset class. The company leverages multimodal and multi-model AI (generative design and machine learning) to evaluate and optimize real estate for customers from Fortune 100 to emerging developers.

CityBldr not only assesses the highest and best use of individual properties, but also secured a patent in 2023 for the first Assemblage AI, identifying and ranking every possible combination of properties to unlock larger developments. Additional features include buildable units analysis, rich zoning information, environmental indicators and critical areas, hard and soft cost analysis, competitor research, neighborhood analysis, geospatial rents (rents accurate to any point on a map), automated massing, feasibility, yield studies and back of the envelope financials. Operational in 155 cities across the US and Canada.

What we like: Like learning languages, deciphering complex zoning laws is tricky, nuanced, and highly localized. As a hybrid of residential and commercial tech, CityBldr has built a powerful platform on top of that disparate web of rules and regulations, using machine learning and AI.
