Hyperlocal regulatory intelligence for real estate developers

Our mission

Make entitlement risk instantly clear for every property in America.

It's never been this hard to build in America

We need more housing. More infrastructure. More energy. More buildings.

Cities are growing and land is abundant. The demand to build has never been greater, yet it’s never been harder to build in America.

Why? Because the real estate entitlement process is broken.

Before a shovel hits the ground, projects must be approved by local municipalities, each with its own codes and procedures. The rules are written, but the real determinants of approval are buried in outdated portals, meeting minutes, and voting records. When acquiring a new site, developers are left in the dark on whether a project will move forward or stall, creating risk.

This uncertainty misallocates capital and stifles progress. Billions are wasted each year chasing the wrong sites, and projects that should move forward never do.

Zonagent’s mission is to make entitlement risk instantly clear, so developers can build where America needs it most.

Who could be a community champion for this project?
Will the local regulators approve my project?
How can I mitigate entitlement risk?
What are the procedures from start to finish?
How feasible is a rezoning?

Zonagent makes it easier to see what you can build

Our approach

Zonagent shows developers their true odds of approval and the path to getting it.
It's AI-powered platform was designed by ex-developers to seamlessly fit into existing diligence workflows, supercharging early feasibility by transforming zoning rules, entitlement paths, and political complexity into clear, data-driven scenarios.Teams use it to move faster, underwrite with greater conviction and uncover hidden value, resulting in more successful deals and less wasted time on regulatory dead-ends.

How it works

Unified local intelligence

Zoning codes, approvals history, and political signals combined into one unified platform. Scattered municipal data becomes clear, connected, and actionable.

Predictive feasibility

AI models, fine-tuned to local precedent and context, enable developers to test scenarios and evaluate entitlement pathways. Similar projects reveal what's possible.

Realistic project timelines

Step-by-step procedural paths show how long comparable projects took to get approved in each jurisdiction. Underwrite based on data, not hearsay.
