Given the severe housing shortage currently plaguing the United States, it's clear that a solution is needed. With an estimated gap of 5-7 million homes, the problem may seem insurmountable. But there's a promising way forward: improving the Planning and Zoning Information process.

Land Entitlement: The Key to Housing Availability

Land entitlement, at its core, is the legal process of obtaining approvals for the right to develop property for a certain use. This process can be notoriously complex and opaque, often leading to delays and additional costs that ultimately deter developers.

This is where ATC comes in. By providing land use professionals with easy access to the data and documents they need, ATC is revolutionizing the land entitlement process. Their mission is to bring transparency and efficiency to zoning approval and land entitlement, thus supporting professionals nationwide.

The Promise of Efficiency and Transparency

ATC’s approach is simple, yet effective. Instead of navigating the entitlement process blind, land use professionals are empowered with the necessary tools to streamline their work. Their platform houses all entitlement documents in one place, thereby reducing the risk of overlooking critical information.

The company's vision extends beyond simply providing a service. They are on a mission to help resolve the housing crisis by improving zoning regulation and entitlement processes. They believe that a more efficient process will lead to an increase in housing availability, ultimately benefiting the entire nation.

The Team Behind the Vision

At the helm of this mission is a dedicated leadership team with a wealth of experience. Co-founders Natanael von Euler and Ruari Trueger bring their extensive backgrounds in alternative investment data products and sales and construction, respectively. Juan Roldan, leading the engineering team, has led teams at prominent companies like ABN Amro, LeasePlan, Backbase, and Line. Together, they are steering ATC towards their goal of transforming the land entitlement process.

A Look Forward

The housing crisis is a daunting challenge, but with companies like ATC paving the way for a more efficient and transparent land entitlement process, there is hope. By easing the burden on land use professionals, we can expect to see more housing projects come to fruition, helping to close the housing gap. The path to resolving the housing crisis may not be easy, but with a clear vision and the right tools, it's certainly attainable.
