Zoning analysis and parcel feasibility for any lot.
Speed up zoning research, find the right parcel, and discover development opportunity earlier — before you spend on drawings, bids, or due diligence.
Height, floor area, setbacks, and unused capacity: the ceiling before you draw or bid.
Why Zonyard
Three jobs. One workspace for zoning and parcels.
We built Zonyard for people who need answers before they commit capital or design hours—homeowners, architects, investors, and operators who cannot afford slow or fuzzy zoning research.
Speed up zoning research
Stop digging through ordinances, assessor files, and GIS portals one tab at a time. Zonyard puts district rules, overlays, lot facts, and permit friction on the parcel so diligence starts in minutes—not days.
Find the right parcel
Filter and compare by zone, size, unused capacity, and constraints. Whether you need one address or a shortlist that matches your rules, you land on sites that actually fit—not just listings that look available.
Discover opportunity early
See unused GFA, underbuilt signal, and upside before the market prices it in. Catch addition, ADU, reuse, and redevelopment angles while you still have time to underwrite, option, or walk away.
Workspace in motion
Live Cambridge maps, pins, and parcel context
From home additions to full redevelopment
Zonyard answers the questions that matter. Can you expand, add a second unit, split a lot, convert a building, or build denser? See what the code allows and what upside remains, on one screen.
