City Launches New Online Zoning Portal in Partnership with Local Tech Startup Gridics
Partnership Delivers Innovative Zoning and Land Use Solutions

This week, the City of Miami and local Miami tech startup Gridics officially launched the new CodeHUB portal on miamigov.com, bringing the City’s zoning code directly to the public through a powerful, user-friendly online platform. Gridics created CodeHUB through a partnership with the City’s Department of Innovation and Technology (DoIT) and Miami’s Planning and Zoning departments. The collaborative process began in late 2017, and with today’s launch of CodeHUB on the City’s web portal, the partnership has come full circle.

“The City of Miami is proud to partner with the professional team at Gridics to improve the way we serve our community through the use of CodeHUB technology,” said Miami Mayor Francis Suarez. “As a local startup, they understood our goals and challenges from the very outset and worked closely with our staff to bring this project to a successful conclusion.”

CodeHUB is a mobile-friendly, public-facing web portal that delivers text, map and quick property zoning lookup tools in one place. Importantly, the platform also delivers a 3D zoning map, 2D mapping and site-specific property data – such as setbacks and zoning uses – directly to users. It will provide a powerful toolset to a range of local individuals and organizations for whom a clear understanding of the Miami’s zoning code is critical. Likely users include homeowners’ groups and neighborhood associations, architects and designers, real estate developers, investors and land-use professionals.

Gridics, short for Grid Analytics, develops real estate data and software applications in the area of real estate development analysis and interpretation. The local Miami startup was founded by a group of urban planners and real estate technologists, making them ideal partners for the local governments that the company partners with on an array of development visualization projects, including: Transfer of Development studies, 3D zoning change visualization, and corridor and economic development studies.
