Constraints and upside, the moment you look at a site.
UnlockLand turns a site's zoning and constraints into a buildable envelope — maximum GFA, unit counts, and the limits that bind them — so you know whether a parcel is worth your time in seconds, not weeks.
The discover phase's payoff — the rules become a number you can act on.
Illustrative interface — setbacks carve the lot into a buildable envelope, and the rules resolve into max GFA and units.
From rulebook to buildable envelope
Knowing the rules is only half the job — you need to know what they add up to. Development Potential math's the zoning against the parcel to show the envelope you can actually build, where the constraints bite, and how much headroom is left on the table.
Setbacks, height, and coverage resolve into the 3D space you can build — the footprint and massing the rules permit.
FAR and density translate into max GFA and a likely unit count, so the upside is a number you can take to a model.
The one limit actually capping the site is called out — so you know whether to push, redesign, or walk away.
How it works
Apply the constraints
Setbacks, height, FAR, coverage, and density are projected onto the parcel geometry to carve out the buildable envelope.
Calculate the yield
The envelope resolves into maximum GFA and an indicative unit count, with efficiency assumptions you can adjust.
Read upside vs. limits
See which constraint binds the site and how much potential is unused — the signal to advance, redesign, or pass.
Which rule is leaving value on the table
See the envelope in section — and exactly how much potential each constraint hands back. The binding limit is the one worth fighting for.
Achieved 25.6m of a 28m cap — last floor stops short of the FAR allowance.

Where it fits in the workflow
Development Potential closes the discover phase. It takes the rules decoded in Zoning Intelligence and hands a quantified envelope to AI Planning, where the machine starts proposing real schemes against your numbers.
