Our Target Market: Why Deepblocks will partner with real estate brokers first
Real estate advisors are adopting technology to increase the speed of dealfinding, generating presentations, and marketing a deal. However, when it comes to investment analysis, they are still dependent on local experts, which slows down the entire process.
The Solution: Reinventing the Cycle
Artificial Intelligence processes information faster and more efficiently than the human brain: millions of data points per second. We want every development data point centralized and integrated into a single smart system that can traverse every city in the world. Deepblocks is innovating with smart tools that will help YOU change the way we live.
The Problem: Why build AI for Real Estate Development?
Students, brokers, advisors, agents, architects, investors, bankers, heirs, and contractors who want to contribute to the built environment are looking for new tools to discover, analyze, test and reinvent. What if those who have a different vision for the way people live have the tools to accomplish this?

The Opportunity Zone extravaganza is flooding the real estate industry with speculation and appetite for alternative funding. It is timely: as interest rates rise and bank loans are less attractive, real estate development may find alternative funding.
Density
Density regulations shape our cities. They designate how many people will live in a specific area, which has implications on quality of life issues, especially at the ends of the spectrum. These include air quality, access to public transit, walkability, etc.
Setbacks
Setbacks shape the pedestrian experience. They regulate whether a pedestrian will encounter ground floor shops and cafes as they walk down a street, or lawns that separate them from building activity, while providing privacy to building dwellers. Setbacks also control minimum building separation.
Building Height
Heights are regulated in multiple ways, depending on the zone. Most zoning districts regulate building height, either as total number of floors or as a linear measure, and they also regulate the minimum and maximum dimensions of ground floors and typical floors.
Parking Requirements by Use
Parking is a huge factor in development. Most zoning districts have some type of parking requirement by use, which not only shapes the way our cities look, but also the way people live and interact with one another. Here are some definitions that are useful in this conversation.
Financial Outputs: The Back of Envelope
The BOE is a one-year snapshot of a real estate project’s financial performance, often used to filter bad deals from a series of development options. The idea is to produce a simple measure across all properties, such as return on cost (ROC).
Condo Financials
A condominium is a building, or complex of buildings, in which every apartment or home is individually owned. Financial analysis of a condominium is different from an income producing property because the return on cost (ROC) for a condominium is generated from the total sale of the condos instead of the rent cash flow.
Multifamily Financials
Multifamily residential is a rental income property that contains multiple separate housing units. A multifamily building generally has one owner, or landlord, that rents units to residential inhabitants, or tenants.
Hotel Financials
Hotels are lodging businesses that provide accommodation, meals, and other services for travelers and tourists. Hotel owners may own both the building and the business and are responsible for all expenses related to business operations and building improvements.
Industrial Financials
Industrial real estate projects house facilities that do activities such as production, manufacturing, assembly, warehousing, research, light storage, distribution, etc.
Office Financials
Office development financials are similar to other income properties with the exception that common areas are also part of the leasable space.
Single Family Financials
Single family refers to dwelling units, either attached or detached, designed to be used by a single household, and with direct access to the street.
Retail Financials
Retail (or commercial) development can be freestanding or part of a mixed-use project, such as shops and restaurants on the ground floor of a residential or office building.
