The Regrid team is working on a major update to our mobile app that will come out in January.

Building on what you already know and love about the app, we're delivering a whole new way to connect with land by following changes to the properties and places you care about.

If you'd like to experience the new Regrid Property App before it goes live, please reach out to us via help@regrid.com - we have a limited number of spots available for those who want to give feedback. 

As we get ready for the future, it has me thinking about the past and how things have evolved. 

The Regrid mobile app has a storied history going all the way back to 2012-2013. At the time we were fully focused on Detroit, Michigan, and wanted to provide a tool for residents to easily look up property information and document properties that needed attention.

When Detroit entered bankruptcy in 2013, we were asked to deploy the app for a coordinated citywide survey of all 386,000 properties. Backed by city leaders and representatives from the White House, 200 Detroiters successfully used the app to photograph and evaluate every property for the Motor City Mapping project. 

From there we traveled the country and helped facilitate many similar surveys, working closely with local governments, neighborhood groups, and grassroots organizations.

During that time we dramatically expanded our national land parcel data coverage and the app found broad popularity as a convenient way to look up property boundaries and information.

For the update, we’ve taken all of the lessons learned over the years about how people use the Regrid app and combined that knowledge with our desire to learn more about land in a convenient way.

Our goal is to bring land information fully into the mainstream. We all care about land for different reasons, so it's time for a service that works for everyone regardless of profession. Behind everything is Regrid's tremendous nationwide dataset of property boundaries and land information that the team constantly assembles and refreshes. 

We look forward to January and to helping you and millions more connect with land in a whole new way through the updated Regrid Property App.
