Live planning applications and lot checkAbout

Site plan, zoning, and building filings from Ottawa, Toronto, and Calgary open data, lot yield on Ottawa and Toronto parcels, and every live income-property listing — on one map.

What the tracker shows

The Develop desk pulls planning applications straight from each city's open-data feed — City of Ottawa DevApps, Toronto AIC, and Calgary development permits. Every filing carries its name, status, storeys, and unit count as filed, with a link to the official record. Proposed and under-review files are pipeline, not approvals: a six-storey site plan next door can support a rent thesis, explain a thin cap, or warn you about two years of construction across the street. Underwrite the building you can buy today and treat nearby filings as evidence.

Lot check and yield

Track answers what neighbours have filed. Yield answers a different question: what your own parcel can hold under current zoning. Tap an Ottawa or Toronto lot and the desk estimates the building envelope and unit count the zoning supports, so you can compare an as-is fourplex price against what the land carries. Add adjacent lots to screen an assembly as one development site. Estimates are a screen, not a zoning opinion — confirm setbacks, height, and overlays with the city before you offer.

Listings on the same map

Listings mode puts the live inventory Deals lists on this map: pick a market, rank it by a buyer goal — cash flow, lower risk, development — and narrow by risk and play; the ranked shortlist and the pins are one list. Under Track and Yield the same listings can ride along as a layer beside the development pipeline. Open a listing to jump into its Deal Room, check the lot it sits on in Ottawa or Toronto, or run any address through Analyze for DSCR at the contract and qualifying rates. City files list recent applications in Ottawa, Toronto, and Calgary, largest first, with the official source for each, and the 441 Echo Drive page walks through one Ottawa site plan end to end.
