First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for 3-D massing of a building envelope comprising:
- a processor configured to;
receive data from a plurality of sources, the data including at least one of;
property data, land use data, geographic location data, and zoning data; and
compile and incorporate the data into geographic point data;
a user interface configured to receive information identifying a parcel of land;
the processor is further configured to generate a massing of a building envelope for the parcel of land according to zoning requirements of the parcel of land; and
the user interface is configured to display the massing of the building envelope for the parcel of land.

Abstract
A system and method processes data and implements geographic based queries to allow users to visualize 3-D representations or massings of a building considering various zoning parameters for a real estate parcel. The user can choose to output the resulting information in digital and/or print format and perform 3-D massing for any lot or combination of lots on a city block. Using stored and/or input data, the system calculates the viability of the property as a real estate development investment by calculating a discounted cash flow (DCF) and/or an internal rate of return (IRR) and/or other investment metric values.

9. A method of 3-D massing of a building envelope comprising:
-
receiving information identifying a parcel of land through a user interface; identifying, by a processor, the parcel of land; obtaining, by the processor, geographic point data including intersected property data and zoning data; generating, by the processor, a massing of a building envelope for the parcel of land based on the geographic point data; and displaying, on the user interface, the massing of the building envelope for the parcel of land. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A system for 3-D massing of a building envelope comprising:
-
a graphical user interface; a database in communication with said graphical user interface; and a processor in communication with said database and said graphical user interface, said processor configured to; receive an address; obtain data from said database based on said address; convert said address to a parcel identifier that identifies a parcel; display a land area diagram associated with said parcel; determine a floor area allowance value for said parcel; calculate a lot coverage amount for said parcel; calculate a rear yard requirement amount for said parcel; determine a priority between said lot coverage amount and said rear yard requirement; calculate a rear yard line based on said priority; calculate at least one of a building envelope and 3-D massing for said parcel; calculate a floor area ratio for said parcel; and calculate investment viability values for said parcel. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
