Find development projects before the financing request goes out.
CityScout tracks rezonings, site plans, and entitlements across 30+ cities so construction and bridge lenders can identify borrowers and projects months before the capital stack is set.
By the time you hear about the deal, so has everyone else.

Most construction and bridge lenders rely on inbound deal flow, broker referrals, conference networking, or downstream databases to find new origination opportunities. By the time a project reaches those channels, the developer already has multiple term sheets and your ability to compete on relationship is limited.
The earlier signal exists. Every development project files planning and entitlement documents with local government before construction ever starts. But those records are buried across hundreds of jurisdictions in inconsistent formats, and most lending teams do not have the operational capacity to monitor them.

Identify projects in rezoning or site planning.
CityScout captures development activity from local planning systems when filings first hit. You see the project when it is still moving through approvals, not after the developer has already locked in financing.

Reach out before the capital stack is set.
When you find a project early, you can build the relationship before a financing request is broadly circulated. That changes the conversation from competing on rate to competing on relationship and speed.

Build a repeatable origination pipeline.
Instead of waiting for deals to come to you, CityScout gives you a continuously updated pipeline of projects in your target markets, filtered by project type, size, and stage. You can monitor new filings weekly or daily and act on the ones that match your lending criteria.
