Development Potential — UnlockLand
Features/Discover

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.

Buildable envelope

Setbacks, height, and coverage resolve into the 3D space you can build — the footprint and massing the rules permit.

Maximum yield

FAR and density translate into max GFA and a likely unit count, so the upside is a number you can take to a model.

Binding constraints

The one limit actually capping the site is called out — so you know whether to push, redesign, or walk away.

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.

A height variance to 31m would unlock the remaining FAR — worth pursuing only if the upside clears the entitlement cost.

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.
