For small developers
Feasibility before you option the dirt.
LotAlpha helps small developers evaluate lot feasibility, product fit, market support, and preliminary project economics. It is a residential development feasibility screen for one lot or a short list — not a master-plan model, not an entitlement shop, and not a construction lender’s credit memo.
Where small developers get stuck
You can spend two weeks assembling GIS tabs, a sketch budget, and three broker opinions and still not know whether the product even sells on that block. LotAlpha compresses that first pass: what the market appears to support, whether the intended house is in band, and whether the basis leaves room after a preliminary cost stack.
Use it for
- Single-lot infill and two-to-four lot assemblies you are still treating as houses, not a subdivision plat.
- Comparing a few candidate parcels with the same build program and margin rule.
- Handing a memo to a partner that shows the questions still open — flood, utilities, HOA, access — instead of a fake “all clear.”
Do not use it for
Horizontal development pro formas, bond financing, TIF, or “this ZIP will appreciate 8%.” Those are different tools. If you need pipeline tracking and white-label PDFs for a small studio, that lives on the Studio plan when paid billing is open — the underwriting engine is the same screen.
