Case Studies

land parcel augmented Reality application

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

Using Regrid’s existing Parcel API filled with property information, they could create a mobile app capable of displaying boundaries in Augmented Reality and producing additional property data points.

Land & property at risk from rising seas

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. 

OHIO 3CS MAPPING PROJECT

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.

Denovo Real Estate, a Detroit-based real estate company, uses Regrid to research and plan investments, target parcels for acquisition, and track the properties they own. Their clients include Recovery Park Farms, a group that transforms vacant land into a source of local food production and walkable neighborhoods.

The Lansing Medical Cannabis Guild used Regrid to find properties that could become medicinal marijuana dispensaries within the restraints set by recent legislation. They imported information and created maps that spatially visualized these locations within the city of Lansing, MI.

NEIGHBORHOOD GROUPS

Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group used Regrid mapping software to survey the Bloomfield neighborhood in Pittsburgh. The data collected will help local nonprofits and residents connect with resources that will improve and repair homes and lead to a more sustainable neighborhood for everyone.

Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation annually surveys properties in their service area and use this data to identify, track, and map vacant properties. They also use the Regrid Property App to record the property intervention performed by the Vacant Property Task Force in their neighborhood.

Focus:HOPE used Regrid's mapping tools to create maps, work plans, and strategize for a three-day event where thousands of volunteers worked on a beautifying initiative. They also utilized the Regrid App to document progress during the event.

ENVIRONMENTAL Conservation

The Detroit Riverfront Conservancy uses the Regrid Property App & SaaS Mapping Platform to collect, visualize, and analyze parcel-based information. This information is shared with collaborators in an interactive map in order to operate, maintain, and develop the Detroit Riverfront and nearby green spaces.

The Delray Community Benefits Coalition uses the structure and ownership data that is pre-loaded into The Regrid Property Web App to identify where publicly-owned land might be easily assembled. This information is then used to determine target areas for green buffers.

“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.”
