Questions

How do I find out what's being developed in Texas?

Commercial projects are registered with TDLR statewide, cities issue building permits, and new subdivisions show up as plats or site plans. groundranger connects all of them by address, so you can search by city, ZIP code, owner or design firm.

What is a plat?

A plat is the legal map that divides a piece of land into lots and streets. In Houston, plats go before the Planning Commission before land can be subdivided and built on, so they're the earliest public sign of new development.

How do I track a competitor's projects?

Follow the owner, developer or design firm on groundranger. You'll see every project they register with the state and every permit pulled on their sites.

How often does the Houston Planning Commission meet?

The Planning Commission typically meets twice a month. Each agenda lists the plats being considered; groundranger records each application's status at every meeting.
