Development Activity

This map illustrates current and future development activity in Cecil County, MD. Unlike generalized census-based estimations, this data comes from local government sources and shows residential rooftops (red dots) and new/planned development (green patches).

Property Assemblage

One of the challenges of redevelopment is assembling the required real estate needed for a site. This map illustrates the power of GIS to quickly identify the owners of more than 30 individual parcels that, together, will comprise a new development opportunity in Baltimore, MD.

Development Pipeline

To best evaluate a new opportunity, developers need to know not only the current population of an area, but also what the future population will be. This map illustrates the power of GIS to convey both current (purple dots) and future (green patches) residential development in Owings Mills, MD. The table describes how many lots are planned and how many are actually being developed.

Zoning and Nearby Business Parks

This site was made available as a development opportunity. In order to convey the value of the opportunity, this map was created to show the current inventory of business parks along with zoning in the area.

Topographic Map

The terrain of a site often dictates the cost and complexity of development. This map combines aerial photography with color-coded topography to show elevation and grade for a site, and was used to help estimate the suitability for redevelopment.

Urban Redevelopment

The site featured on this map is positioned in the heart of Baltimore City, MD. Because of the urban character of this region, redevelopment was a challenge on many levels. To convey the value of the project's strategic location, this map displays key drivers, including high traffic counts and new development to the north and south. This map is part of a portfolio of research that analyzed population, consumer expenditures, accessibility, and competition.
