The Best Opportunities Disappear Before Most Teams Find Them.
In development, the future is a matter of public record. The building that opens three years from now is on file today: a rezoning, a site plan, a permit, all of it public.
Public does not mean readable. The record is split across planning commissions, building departments, and county records, in systems that were never built to talk to each other. The same project appears under names and numbers that do not match. Reading it whole is how you see a market’s future before it breaks ground.
Every project in your market. Everyone behind it. First.
Every project.
Filings, permits, and sales, read directly from planning commissions, building departments, and county records, matched to the same parcel and the same project. From the first filing to the sale, the full record of development in your market.
Everyone behind it.
Shell LLCs traced to the firms behind them. Developers, architects, engineers, and contractors of record, read from the source documents. Contacts verified.
First.
Filings enter CityScout the day they hit the planning system, at the entitlement stage, before a permit exists.
Anyone can pull permits. CityScout resolves the record.
Track everything that’s ever happened per project.
Two real Charlotte parcels. Every filing, permit, sale, and firm — reconciled to the parcel and ordered by date, the moment it hit the public record.
