Penciler is a window to the future of a neighborhood. In @Oakland's recently upzoned Broadway Valdez district, Penciler's algorithms show that what is now a car dealership could someday be home to almost 300 apartments. See more on how it can help you: https://t.co/VRGetRgH1j

@planetizen @CasualBrasuell Our new tool, Penciler, is actually doing this for multifamily development right now in SF, Berkeley, and Oakland. Would love to share if you're curious to learn more!

[UrbanSim @UrbanSim]

Penciler is live with data from San Francisco, Berkeley, and Oakland, and is launching in more cities soon. Tweet us with any questions!

Penciler now allows you to filter parcels by density limit for residential zoning. Here we're showing only areas that allow for medium or high density residential development in San Francisco.

[UrbanSim @UrbanSim]

Penciler is LIVE with pre-populated zoning data in San Francisco, Berkeley and Oakland, with more cities coming soon. Check out https://t.co/6gDQFGeRuk and give it a try. Interested in seeing Penciler in your city? Let us know!

A new analysis from @TernerHousing & @UCBDisplacement reviews the impact of amendments to #SB50 that expand the definition of “potentially sensitive communities.”

[UrbanSim @UrbanSim]

We are looking at how housing developers might decide between building affordable units on site or paying in lieu fees under #SB50 using our site feasibility analysis tool Penciler. Thanks to @UCBDisplacement and @TernerHousing for their helpful research! https://t.co/eTvHSiimBH

[CMHC @CMHC_ca]

📢 CMHC is partnering with @MetroVancouver, @TransLink & @BCGovNews to bring UrbanSim to #Vancouver. The program will provide data maps of the Metro area to fill data gaps, which will hopefully lead to the development of more affordable housing solutions.
