syte - 2026 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

Every real estate decision starts with the same question: what is actually possible here? syte answers it in seconds. You enter an address and the platform returns the development potential, an analysis of the existing building, energy and photovoltaic figures, a renovation plan with investment cost and target efficiency class, and a profitability calculation for keeping, densifying or replacing the building.

Done the traditional way, that assessment costs hours per property. Someone pulls the zoning plan, checks the land register, looks up comparable values, rebuilds the same spreadsheet and sketches a rough massing. syte compresses that into one query across more than 62 million plots, with property data, potential data and market data in a single interface.

What you can do with it

- Check development potential: buildable volume, floor area and site coverage ratios, full and staggered storeys, setback areas, and an editable 3D massing sketch with DXF and 3D export

- Understand the existing building: building age, structure, roof form, usable area, condition and value indicators

- Assess energy and photovoltaics: heating and primary energy demand, efficiency class, rooftop and open space PV potential with expected yield

- Plan a retrofit: measures, investment cost, resulting efficiency class, CO2 savings and the subsidy programmes that apply

- Run the numbers: residual value, cost forecasts and target return compared side by side across existing, densification and new build scenarios

- Search the market: save a profile once and find residential, commercial, industrial, densification, conversion, brownfield or PV opportunities, then keep favourites

- Order an expert analysis when a site is unusual and an automated answer is not enough

- Produce reports and dossiers you can put in front of a committee, a credit file or a client

Numbers plus a picture

A figure alone rarely convinces a committee. syte shows the site as an interactive 3D model, adds AI visualizations of the finished building, and layers zoning plans, satellite imagery, sealed surfaces and energy data onto the map. Scenarios sit next to each other, so the trade off between keeping, densifying and rebuilding is visible rather than argued.

Who it is for

Project developers, housing companies, banks and financing brokers, real estate agents, planners and architects, authorities and municipalities. The common thread is the need to qualify or reject a property quickly, and to show the reasoning afterwards.

Fast in both directions

Most teams use syte reactively. An agent sends over a plot and, instead of putting the analysis on next week's list, you qualify or drop it the same morning with a documented basis for the call. The second use is proactive: a saved search profile scans the market and surfaces sites that fit your criteria before they are widely marketed. Neither way asks you to change how you work. syte makes the work you already do faster and more efficient.

Built to be used, not implemented

syte runs in the browser. Nothing to install, no GIS expertise required, and new users are productive on their first day. Data coverage is Germany, including nationwide plot and building data, zoning plan information as a map layer, and market data through partner integrations. Results leave the platform as PDF reports, DXF files and 3D geometry, so planners and decision makers get what they need in their own tools.

For teams that want the analysis inside their own product, the syte API and developer platform provide the same data and calculations: a potential check embedded on your website for prospective clients, or data feeds into existing valuation and CRM workflows.

Getting started

syte is offered as a subscription with modules you combine to match how your team works. Access starts with a guided demo in which the team analyses a property you actually care about, so you judge it on your own market and not on a sample dataset.
