Location DNA

Proximity is evidence · Commercial real estate

You pick the location first.
Even when you don’t mean to.

The kitchen can be renovated. The ridge, the floodplain, the Whole Foods two miles out — those are forever. Location DNA profiles the one part of a property you can never change: the verified, dated places around it. Nothing estimated. Nothing invented.

The method

From address to
evidence profile

  1. Measure what's near

    We geocode the address and measure exact distances to every verified place in our catalog — anchored at 0.5, 1, and 2 miles.

  2. Compare to real neighborhoods

    The mix of places around your address is matched, by nearest neighbors, against the real neighborhoods around anchors like Whole Foods and Costco — then ranked against a national sample.

  3. Watch the evidence change

    Track an address and get notified when verified places open, close, or trade nearby. Location value moves when the evidence does.

What we count

Nine evidence layers

Grocery anchors, hospitals, schools, airports, dealers, parks, luxury retail, data centers, and industrial risk sites. Every record carries its source, opening date, and confidence.

Anatomy of a report

Every claim on the page
traces to a record.

Where demographics can’t be verified, the report says so. Where a drive time is a speed proxy, it’s labeled. The product of Location DNA is trust, and the price of trust is admitting what we don’t know.
