Boardwalk

Structured land-use entitlement project records extracted nightly from city planning-commission and city-council agendas and minutes nationwide: what is being built, where, who the developer is, and what was decided. Each record carries proposed project details (building type, density, unit count, acreage, project size), location, developer/applicant and owner identities with contact enrichment, action classification (rezoning, variance, density change, design review, subdivision), the deciding body and meeting stage, and the outcome (approved / denied / continued / other), each traceable to source evidence. Surfaced 12-24 months before construction begins; delivered as a live map plus a REST API and an AI-agent access server, priced per delivered record.

Dataset card

Type: not stated
Format: Multimodal — a versioned field dictionary of structured records exposed via REST API (stable field contracts, incremental sync) and an AI-agent access server, derived nightly from millions of pages of government PDFs; a filterable live map (building type, developer name, project size, acreage, region); weekly saved-search alert digests; and per-record links back to the source documents.
Volume: Input stream quantified by the vendor: nightly scans of thousands of government websites nationwide converting millions of pages of PDFs into records. Output record count is not published — bounded by per-state rather than nationwide coverage, so likely tens to low hundreds of thousands of project records. The underlying PDF corpus is the larger raw asset and is itself a licensable document set.
Users: 1,500+ customer firms (vendor-stated), spanning national homebuilders (D.R. Horton, Lennar, PulteGroup, Toll Brothers, Meritage, Century Communities, David Weekley), national GCs (Turner, Hensel Phelps, Mortenson, Suffolk, ARCO, Manhattan, PCL), A&E and civil firms (Kimley-Horn, Parsons, Corgan, McKim & Creed, Ardurra, Hazen and Sawyer, Terracon), multifamily operators (Greystar, AMLI, The NRP Group) and brokers/title (CBRE, JLL, Newmark, First American). Implies several thousand named user seats across those firms.
History: 3 years
Update frequency: not stated
Growth: Active — nightly ingestion across thousands of city websites, coverage that varies by jurisdiction and expands over time, a published API with versioning and incremental-sync policy, a shipped AI-agent access server, and a blue-chip named customer roster at 1,500+ firms. Actively maintained and actively widening.
Launched: ~2024-2025 (organization record established late 2025; hero video asset labelled Jun 2026; a year-in-review 2026 content series is in publication — a product in its first two to three commercial years, with the current single-family positioning being a recent focus)
