LandVal exists because early-stage land valuation in New York City is slower and less consistent than it should be. The preliminary question — what can I pay for this site — typically takes longer to answer than the inputs actually require. LandVal is built to close that gap.
The tool was built by someone who came to real estate through architecture and urban design. That path informs how the model works. Reading a zoning lot is not abstract here. It comes from years of understanding how floor area translates into buildable form — how a 10 FAR site in a special purpose district behaves differently from the same FAR in a standard R10 zone, and how those differences move the land value. After more than five years working on land assemblage and development underwriting across New York City, LandVal is the tool that should have existed at the start of every deal.
To provide real estate professionals with a quantitative edge. Our platform empowers acquisition and development teams to accelerate underwriting and identify opportunities with greater analytical confidence.
Our analytical models synthesize thousands of market, zoning, and geospatial data points. By inputting core property metrics, users can generate an indicative valuation, with granular adjustments that illuminate the key drivers of value.
The model draws on publicly available transaction data from ACRIS, zoning parameters from NYC ZoLa, and development cost benchmarks calibrated to current New York City market conditions. Outputs are preliminary estimates intended to support early-stage analysis. LandVal does not replace a formal appraisal, a full pro forma, or professional investment advice.
LandVal is an independent project. It is not affiliated with any brokerage, developer, or advisory firm.
