Add number of lanes to road centerline dataset

Maintenance and replacement costs of road infrastructure are reported as a cost per lane-kilometer. The number of lanes should be included in the "Road Centerline" dataset

Add year of installation to road centerline dataset

The city has nearly 9000 km of roads to maintain. It would be very beneficial for planning purposes if the age of road segment could be included in the "Road Centerline" dataset

Ottawa Building Permits Map

Just when you thought the real estate industry had all the data, building permits can tell a different story. Our new tool helps you visualize valuable insights into real estate trends, property development, and business opportunities. Here’s how they can be leveraged: 1. Market & Development Trends • Identify High-Growth Areas – Track new construction and major renovations to spot neighbourhoods with increasing demand. • Assess Housing Supply & Demand – Monitor permits for new residential builds to understand upcoming inventory and market saturation. • Gauge Property Value Growth – Frequent permits for high-end renovations can indicate areas where property values are rising. 2. Investment & Development Strategy • Find Underserved Markets – A lack of permits in a certain area could signal unmet demand for new housing or commercial development. • Spot Commercial Expansion Zones – Large-scale permits for office, retail, or mixed-use buildings can reveal where businesses are investing. • Analyze Competitor Activity – Understanding where other developers are building can help refine site selection and project positioning. 3. Due Diligence & Risk Management • Detect Red Flags on Properties – Properties with extensive structural or flood-related permits may indicate hidden risks. • Ensure Regulatory Compliance – Verify if past work was properly permitted before acquiring a property for redevelopment. • Understand Zoning & Land Use Changes – Permit trends can indicate upcoming zoning shifts that may impact future projects. 4. Municipal & Infrastructure Insights • Anticipate Infrastructure Upgrades – Permits for roads, utilities, and public projects suggest areas poised for future growth. • Align with City Development Plans – Tracking municipal permits helps developers align projects with government priorities and funding.
