Archistar

• Site intelligence: evaluate zoning, planning controls, landscape information, and site restrictions
• Generative design engine to create compliant design concept options for apartments, townhouses, and commercial projects
• Automatic feasibility analysis: determining what can be built on a site, yields, cost estimates
• 3D visualization tools including context, massing, shadow analysis, solar and environmental impact
• Permit and compliance checking using AI: the “eCheck” feature to assess designs against local building and zoning codes
• Integrated mapping of development opportunities (“Hot Sites”) for discovering potential development land
• Pipeline tools for managing shortlisted sites, user notes, tracking status of development prospects
• Regulatory and rule-aware design: embedded planning rules to ensure designs meet code before submission
• Export capabilities to CAD / BIM formats and integration with other design tools such as Autodesk Forma for further design refinement.
• Data-rich reports and due diligence outputs for risk assessment, investment, planning and reporting

Archistar.ai is a property and development intelligence platform built to support architects, developers, planners, and governments in making faster, smarter decisions about land and buildings. By combining generative design, regulatory compliance, site intelligence, and data analytics in one system, Archistar helps users quickly evaluate what is legally feasible on a site and explore design options that comply with local rules. Users begin by selecting or providing a site of interest, after which Archistar ingests zoning regulations, topography, environment constraints, and other location-based data to show what development is possible.

One core component is its generative design engine. It can produce thousands of conceptual building designs for given site constraints such as setbacks, height limits, and floor area ratio. These designs are evaluated for metrics like solar access, shadowing, privacy, and environmental impacts. This allows users to compare multiple design options rapidly instead of crafting each manually. Archistar’s eCheck feature automates compliance review: designs are assessed using AI for alignment with building codes and planning rules to reduce permit delays and risk.

Archistar is not just for design but for development decision making. The platform offers heat maps for “hot sites” to discover land with strong development potential and other value indicators. It supports feasibility reports, due diligence documentation, and export into CAD/BIM tools or other downstream design software such as Autodesk Forma. The platform’s pipeline tools allow teams to manage potential sites, tag them, share, compare design options and monitor progress.

Governments and municipalities benefit too. Archistar is used by many local authorities to help accelerate permitting, automate code checking, and bring more transparent processes to planning, minimizing manual back-and-forth. For property investors and developers, Archistar reduces ambiguity in early design stages, lowers risk, and enables more agile site decisions. With both free and paid tiers, Archistar is accessible for smaller-scale users while scaling up powerful tools for enterprise and professional use.
