What is the best tool for a development feasibility study and residual land value?

A feasibility run reads the zoning code rule by rule, finds the limit that binds, tests a scheme and shows what the land price depends on and how each method is worked out.

A feasibility study needs three things in one place: the zoning code read rule by rule for the parcel, a test scheme that fits inside the limit that binds, and a land value worked out from that scheme. Titleman produces all three in one run and shows how each figure was reached, so a developer can check it against the code and the market.

What the study contains

  • The code, rule by rule. Height, floor area ratio, setbacks, parking and use, each quoted with its section.
  • The binding limit. Which rule actually caps the building, and by how much the others leave room.
  • A test scheme. How much fits: floor area, units or rentable area under that limit.
  • The land value. The facts the land price turns on and how each method is worked out, residual value among them, so the developer can change an input and see the effect.

A finished example

The sample library holds an anonymized study of a fire-damaged retail lot: what may be built, how much fits, what the price depends on. It states no price; street, city and owners are removed and figures scaled.

How long it takes

The median feasibility run takes about 28 minutes: 27.2 minutes from the start of the run to the delivery of its result, measured on 11 October 2026 over the 80 runs of the previous thirty days that finished and were charged.

What the developer still decides

Whether to pursue a variance, which scheme to take forward, and the price to offer. The study is a draft for a licensed professional to review.
