Zoned Properties Inc., a real estate development firm for emerging and highly-regulated industries including regulated cannabis, will invest in and partner with two new proptech data project teams focused on providing solutions for real estate projects in regulated industries.
Zoned Properties’ mission, the company said, is to provide real estate services for emerging and regulated industries that can address the material pain points of complex real estate development projects. The firm has pinpointed critical needs in regulated real estate markets starting from the identification of project sites to how the consumer and the community interacts with the built retail environment.
“These critical needs have proven to be some of the greatest challenges for project teams in emerging and regulated industries, and we look forward to providing some exciting solutions specific to the cannabis industry,” said Bryan McLaren, CEO.
With its investment in the Zoned Properties GIS Zoning & Mapping Project, the company plans to utilize advanced property technology to provide solutions for property identification in regulated industries such as regulated cannabis. Locating properly zoned properties can be incredibly challenging in regulated industries as complex as cannabis and can be one of the most difficult early challenges faced by project teams, the company observed.
With its Zoned Properties Brick & Mortar Retail Consumer Project, the firm plans to provide emerging and regulated industry operators with the tools to enhance the value of their brick-and-mortar real estate, through consumer-centric and brand-centric property technology solutions.
Individuals entering the regulated cannabis industry are increasing exponentially, either as consumers, goods and service providers, or local regulatory professionals. This growth has created a demand to identify, develop, and deliver specific needs for complex real estate projects from start to finish. To assist with these niche demands, Zoned Properties is looking to harness data and provide operations with information that can be organized, packaged, and better positioned to provide streamlined solutions to those individuals.
“For years, we have been navigating these projects organically because it was the only way to get the job done; searching, mapping and putting the pieces together by hand. Our new focus on proptech projects collaboration with our new partners are aiming to provide results at a large scale,” said McLaren. “We look forward to providing further updates as these projects progress and prepare for launch into the marketplace.”
