Algoma

What Algoma does

Algoma is an automated development platform that helps real estate developers make decisions and build faster and at lower cost. It provides automated feasibility studies, accelerating timelines, cutting costs, and streamlining the path from concept to construction. The platform offers site search, AI zoning analysis, GIS intelligence, generative layouts for site capacity, instant renderings, and market intelligence including rent comps. It aims to transform how developers evaluate opportunities by providing intelligence previously reserved for the largest firms.
