Securing land development sites in New South Wales isn't easy. The market is crowded, opportunities move fast, and the wrong decision can cost you time and money.


Here's what makes it so challenging:

  • Finding the right site: NSW’s property market demands precision. But filtering through countless properties to match your exact requirements is time-consuming and frustrating.
  • Information overload: Zoning laws, environmental overlays, property history, infrastructure access, market trends — pulling all this data together for one site, let alone many, can feel impossible.
  • Missed opportunities: By the time you identify a site worth pursuing, it’s often already on the radar of your competitors or the owner isn’t ready to sell.

That’s why we built Urban Prospects.

Urban Prospects is a SaaS platform that simplifies the process of finding suitable development sites. With powerful filters, automated data aggregation, and off-market insights, our platform helps you:

  • Pinpoint sites that meet your exact criteria in seconds.
  • Access zoning, environmental, and market data in one place.

  • Spot opportunities before they hit the open market.

Instead of spending months chasing dead ends, Urban Prospects gives you the intelligence you need to move quickly and confidently — and secure the sites that others miss.

Simple Land Development Search Software Easy To Use But Powerful

Spend less time searching for land development opportunities and more time securing them. We have developed a software-driven solution designed to minimise friction and make your job easier:

Comprehensive Search Engine: Unlike other systems that started with data and later added search capabilities, Urban Prospects was built as a native search engine for finding potential land development sites, providing all the data you need in one place. This means you can access detailed information about all sites, making it easier to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Map and search tool interface for finding development sites in NSW, showcasing Urban Prospects’ advanced site search and planning controls features.

Ease of Use: Our platform is user-friendly, requiring only a basic understanding of property to navigate effectively. The intuitive interface ensures that even those who are not tech-savvy can use it with ease.

Time-Saving: Urban Prospects saves you time by streamlining the process of finding suitable sites for land development. Instead of spending hours sifting through irrelevant listings, our advanced filtering options help you zero in on the properties that match your clients’ criteria.

Sophisticated Filtering: Our advanced filtering rules and extensive database ensure you find the right land development opportunities for your or your clients’ needs. You can filter by location, zoning, size, and many other parameters.

Proactive Opportunities: The system allows you to be proactive in seeking out land development opportunities, opening up more options beyond just what is currently on the market. This means you can identify those all-important off-market site opportunities.

Complying Development Certificates (CDC): Urban Prospects identifies sites that qualify for CDC dual occupancy developments — meaning projects can often bypass the lengthy DA process. For developers and investors, this translates to faster approvals, lower holding costs, and quicker time to market. By uncovering sites that meet CDC criteria, our platform gives you a competitive edge in securing opportunities that deliver faster returns with less risk.

Alerts and Bookmarks: Properties can be bookmarked, and you can receive alert notifications when they become available for sale. This ensures you never miss out on a potential opportunity.

FAQS

What is Urban Prospects?

Urban Prospects is a SaaS platform designed to help developers discover, evaluate, and acquire development sites across New South Wales. Built by leading NSW town planning consultants, it enables users to search beyond traditional property listings and assess all properties using planning-led data.

What problem does Urban Prospects solve?

Traditional platforms only display the 0.5% of NSW properties actively listed for sale, limiting developers' options and increasing competition. Urban Prospects unlocks off-market opportunities and allows users to search properties based on critical planning parameters.

What are the key benefits of Urban Prospects?

Key benefits of Urban Prospects are: 

1. Proactive Site Search: Urban Prospects enables users to actively search for sites that match specific criteria rather than reacting to what is currently available on the market. This proactive approach helps developers find sites that are more suitable for their projects.

2. Comprehensive Search Capabilities: Users can search for sites based on various parameters such as location (LGA), zoning, permissibility, minimum lot size, proximity to schools, hospitals, and train stations, permissible height, and floor space ratio (FSR). This detailed search functionality ensures that developers can find precisely what they need.

3. Exclusion/Inclusion Based on Planning Constraints: The platform allows users to include or exclude sites based on specific planning constraints, such as heritage listings, flood-prone areas, land slippage, bushfire zones, drinking catchment areas, wetlands, coastal management areas, and biodiversity regions. This feature helps in refining the search results to avoid unsuitable sites.

4. Off-Market Purchase Opportunities: Urban Prospects offers the unique advantage of identifying off-market properties, reducing competition and potentially securing better deals. Users can also purchase property titles and deeds directly through the platform, facilitating off-market negotiations.

5. Residual Land Value (RLV) tool for feasibility studies: The Residual Land Value tool in Urban Prospects is a feature that provides feasibility and purchase price guidance by allowing users to assess the maximum price they can pay for a development site based on planning rules, estimated costs, and market data.

6. CRM tools for acquisition pipeline management: Urban Prospects’ CRM tools for acquisition pipeline management enable users to systematically track, organise, and progress potential site acquisitions from initial identification through to negotiation and purchase, supporting a proactive and data-driven approach to property development.

7. Accurate and Nuanced Results: The search results provided by Urban Prospects are highly accurate and designed by town planners who understand the intricacies of the planning system. The platform captures all subsets of permissible uses, ensuring comprehensive search results that cover all potential development opportunities.

8. User-Friendly Interface: The website offers an intuitive interface where users can view search results in list, map, and satellite views. Detailed property information, including street views, site details, key development standards, and relevant planning documents, is readily accessible.

9. Notification System: Urban Prospects notifies users when their favourite sites are listed for sale, ensuring they never miss an opportunity. This feature is particularly beneficial for maintaining a pipeline of potential development sites.
