With over 100 city officials, planners, architects, developers, land use attorneys, and commercial brokers joining our last webinar, we decided it was time to schedule our next session!

A few months ago, the City of Miami became the first global municipality to incorporate a site-specific and digitized zoning code software into their workflow.  We’re confident your organization can become just as efficient, and we want to show you how.  The future of 3D zoning and planning is here.

Join us on Tuesday, June 27th at 10am OR 1pm EDT for a free 30 min. webinar:  http://webinars.zonar.city/

We’ll be giving you a behind the scenes look at the Gridics 3D zoning management platform and covering valuable topics including how to:

• Conduct faster & more accurate development plan reviews
• Visualize 3D zoning capacity in real time
• Test new zoning scenarios to improve development patterns
• Improve transparency with the public

See you on Tuesday!

For Immediate Release:  May 1, 2017

Miami, FL – Gridics LLC, a Miami-based real estate tech startup, today announced a partnership with the City of Miami to use its software application across the city’s planning, zoning, and development functions.  The partnership will support the City of Miami’s efforts for improved delivery of services and enhanced analysis of permit applications.  The Gridics application is the first interactive digital zoning software of its kind and is changing the way cities manage and interact with their zoning codes.

Francisco J. Garcia, Director of Planning & Zoning for the City of Miami, says, “Gridics’ alignment with Miami 21’s innovative approaches will facilitate the analysis of the regulatory framework to properly plan growth and align it with the best interest of the public.  It will also improve our team’s efficiency and provide quality control to the review process.  We are confident this is a step in the right direction to elevate the city’s delivery of services.”

At its core, a proprietary rules-engine integrates all the regulations and variables of a zoning code with property records and parcels to allow users to create potential development scenarios in 3D on a map interface.  It is designed to integrate with any city’s zoning code to allow the city to expedite development plan reviews, conduct real-time 3D development scenarios and visually test proposed zoning code changes.

Founded by three University of Miami graduate students with backgrounds ranging from urban planning and architecture to real estate tech and engineering, Gridics is focused on developing innovative solutions to complex, data-driven problems in the world of real estate.  “With our technology, we have solved the complex puzzle of dependent rules that has made it so difficult to turn a city’s zoning code into an interactive experience to help drive smarter planning and zoning approval processes.  Every city can now take a leap forward in their approach to zoning and planning while strengthening their transparency and communication with private citizens, particularly those in the development community that become Gridics users as well,” says CEO Jason Doyle.

As a leading advocate for open data and civic tech, Mike Sarasti, the City of Miami’s Chief Innovation Officer, explains, “Our city leadership is committed to leveraging technology and finding local partners to solve some of our biggest challenges.  Zoning and planning decisions have an enormous effect on the quality of life in the City of Miami, particularly at this time where we’re experiencing so much growth.  Gridics, homegrown right in our community, understands this, making them an ideal collaborator as work to innovate City processes.

Gridics is quickly expanding to other municipalities around the US.  To learn more about the platform, head over to www.zonar.city.

MIAMI, April 20, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Gridics, a Miami-based real estate technology startup, has announced the successful conclusion of a $1.1 million round of seed funding.  The round was led by Dune Road Capital and included noted accredited investors such as John Dyett, Managing Director of Salem Partners, serial entrepreneur Robert Kall, CEO and co-founder of Cien.ai and leading Miami real estate developer Avra Jain.  The company, which has raised over $2 million of development capital to date, is focused on further strengthening its product and driving adoption of its 3D zoning and planning application.

Gridics, short for Grid Analytics, was founded in 2015 with a vision of combining disparate real estate data sets into a single, hyper-local data platform.  From this platform, the company creates software applications that help users make smarter investment and development decisions while streamlining fractured processes in the real estate world.  The patent-pending 3D zoning application, for example, aims to revolutionize the way cities approach zoning and planning analysis while helping to bridge the gap between the private sector development community of architects, developers and attorneys by automating development feasibility analysis and streamlining the lengthy development plan approval process.

“We are thrilled by the reception we’ve received from cities that have been introduced to Gridics,” says CEO Jason Doyle.  “Our new automated compliance module allows cities and developers to quickly check development plans against site-specific zoning requirements.  Cities that integrate their code with Gridics will streamline their zoning approval processes resulting in faster approvals, improved transparency and significant reductions to backlogs.”

In cities across America, the plan approval process commonly takes nine months or more.  The zoning analysis portion is time-consuming and is a frequent bottleneck in the frustrating process.  At the same time, cities are spending millions of dollars on major planning, transportation and redevelopment projects and must determine optimal zoning changes to drive the development growth they hope to achieve.  Gridics attacks these pressure points by digitizing the rules and regulations of a city’s zoning code and combining it with GIS data layers.  This allows users to quickly and easily produce use-specific and geo-specific 3D visualizations of building massings, saving tens of thousands of dollars and months of analysis while improving the accuracy of their results and forecast models.

“Gridics solves a huge problem,” says Peter Richards, managing partner of Dune Road Capital.  “By creating a solution that can digitize and automate any zoning code, the Gridics team has created a way to streamline an antiqued process.  The Gridics application unshackles real estate professionals, and the municipal departments they interact with, from the zoning books they tirelessly flip through.  Because it increases productivity and saves time and money, Gridics has the ability to become the digital and interactive zoning platform that cities and developers have been waiting for.”

Gridics recently announced the beta launch of their Market Intelligence application, which allows real estate professionals to conduct hyper-local market analysis across the Gridics database.  Over 1,000 members of the MIAMI Association of Realtors have joined Gridics since February.  Gridics plans to expand their Market Intelligence application to other Realtor associations in the future.
