The Deals Developers Are Analyzing Today | Q3 2026 Edition
Before a developer buys a site, they test it. Over the past several years, a new generation of feasibility tools has made it easy to understand what can (or cannot) be built on a site without weeks of upfront architectural work and financial analysis.
Those feasibility studies produce a useful byproduct: data on what developers are analyzing today.
TestFit, which has been the leading automated feasibility analysis platform for over a decade, processed more than 100,000 site analyses last quarter. We've partnered with the company to track the data longitudinally as a signal of where real estate development is headed, from density and parking trends to which asset classes are gaining or losing favor.
Note that this is feasibility activity, not construction starts. The data is best read as a leading indicator of where developers are looking. Nine quarters in, several trends we've been tracking strengthened in Q3.
Let’s dig in.
