See what could shape the build before you commit capital
Zoning, entitlements, CC&Rs, easements, REAs — Orbital reviews everything that governs what you can do with a site and shows you the constraints on the map, so you reach certainty before you commit capital.
Check the proposed development against zoning and entitlement requirements
Orbital reviews zoning reports and letters, then checks the scheme against permitted use, FAR, setbacks, height, parking, and other relevant requirements. It helps to identify legal non-conforming conditions, variances, and conditional use permits, and cross-checks zoning information against the survey notes.
Identify recorded restrictions before reaching out to legal
CC&Rs, reciprocal easement agreements, condominium declarations, and recorded easements can affect how a site is used, accessed, and developed. Orbital reviews these documents in the context of the proposed development, helping your team identify relevant surfacing use restrictions, build limitations, access rights, and consent requirements earlier on, before they become a problem.
Visualize site ideas while you wait on the survey
Plot the legal description, overlay the survey and site plan, and sketch the proposed development directly on an interactive map. Add easements, access routes, tax parcels, flood data, and zoning layers to better understand how the scheme relates to the site’s legal and physical constraints.
From site control to construction-ready agreements
Rapidly draft site-control documents from your own forms, including option agreements, PSAs, and ground leases. Next, review and negotiate the development agreements, construction contracts, and consultant agreements, with redlines and issues lists that reflect your side of the transaction.
Keep long-running development projects moving
Draft your construction and permanent loan documents from term sheets, abstract anchor leases, and REAs, and track critical dates and project phases throughout the life cycle of a multi-year development. Orbital’s shared projects help development, finance, zoning, and leasing specialists work from the same documents, context, and analysis.
Ready-to-use land-use workflows
Start with more than 40 pre-built real estate report templates, built by real estate attorneys and customizable to your forms, allowing your team to set up productive workflows without building anything from scratch.
Developers, counsel, and the firms that build with them
Understand zoning, entitlements, access, and phasing requirements earlier, so you can assess site constraints, respond to objections, and keep projects moving without waiting for every answer to come through legal.
Give the business clearer answers while keeping risk, documents, dates, and specialist input connected as a long-running project moves from site control through financing, construction, and lease-up.
Start every stage with a structured view of the documents, issues, and project context, helping your team advise on zoning, diligence, and development agreements with greater speed and consistency.
