Regrid partnered with the team at Gravity Jack to create a futuristic mobile application that displays land parcel data in augmented reality.

Our customer Climate Central has released a deep data analysis report on the sinking tax base & implications of rising temperatures across the country. To calculate the taxable value of affected parcels and buildings, Climate Central used standardized land parcel data from Regrid.
This analysis delivers an assessment of sea level rise impact on the tax base of hundreds of coastal U.S. counties—specifically, the potential loss of taxable properties caused by shifting tidal boundaries. Findings by the county are detailed in more than 250 reports and a national summary including data on the acreage, buildings, number of properties, and assessed value projected to be at risk this century, by decade.
With support from the JPMorgan Chase Foundation, Regrid partnered with the Western Reserve Land Conservancy to update our platform, gather data, provide our technology to government, nonprofit, and community groups, and organize property surveys across Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus, Ohio.
The projects conducted took various forms, with various groups and individuals in each city continuing to use the tools for projects big and small.
In 2014, Detroit knew it had a blight problem - but nobody knew exactly how many structures were vacant. Because good data is crucial to good decision-making, Regrid teamed up with Data Driven Detroit and the Blight Elimination Task Force led by Dan Gilbert to conduct an ambitious survey: photograph and evaluate every single property within Detroit's 139 square miles. 200 Detroiters used Regrid's mapping technology and the Regrid Property App to get the job done. Data from this unprecedented effort led to hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding allocated to blight removal and demolitions. It also provided valuable information to City Hall, developers, and neighborhood groups about the state of their city.
History will marvel that Detroit’s most intense period of displacement and property damage happened in the 21st century through misguided tax foreclosure and auction systems. Local governments and organizations use data from Regrid and The Regrid Property App to visit people facing foreclosure, understand their situation, connect them to resources, and advocate for change.

"Regrid has helped not just Rise, but so many other organizations in St. Louis to be able to understand the context of our neighborhoods as we work on a path towards more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive development.
Regrid has been a tremendous help in being able to challenge our views of our own communities and create dialog around the facts, not simply anecdotal evidence."

“Regrid parcel data was the essential starting place for The Nature Conservancy’s recent 32,000 acre land acquisition in Michigan. We were able to compare the parcel data to the tax and legal descriptions, even within the tricky Assessor Plats and Government Lots. The data helped us identify areas of difference and work towards resolution with the title company and previous landowner.”

Detroit Fire Survey: Regrid surveyors visited, photographed, and assessed every structure-damaging fire in the city of Detroit in 2015 using the Regrid platform.

Regrid sent a crew to Portland, MI to survey parcels in and around the path of damage left by a tornado. Surveyors assessed the level of damage for each property and the resulting map showed where the parcels most damaged by the tornado were located.

The proposal passed.
