Intelligence

Know who is already there, what is missing, and whether the ground will let you build it.

Why it existsOne view of the market

Retail site work is usually assembled by hand, one market at a time, and is dated by the time it circulates. These tools run every question against one current set of Virginia data.

Map the competition in a trade area. Rank the nodes that match a retailer's existing stores. List the tenants a site can land, with the reason each other name was ruled out. Score a whole market at once. Read zoning and entitlement before the first call.

Each result keeps its sources and reasons, so a screen can be checked and repeated. BDC uses these tools on its own projects.
