Buildability™ vs Reonomy
Data version: Q2 2026 · Last updated 2026-05-13
TL;DR. Reonomy (now part of Altus Group) is a commercial real estate data platform that excels at owner records, debt data, and contact information for commercial properties. Buildability™ is a per-property buildability analysis platform that excels at zoning, environmental risk, and feasibility scoring. The two tools answer different questions about a property and are often used together.
Quick comparison
Reonomy: commercial property database with owner records, debt information, contact details, and property records. Subscription pricing in the hundreds to low thousands per month, focused on commercial brokers, investors, and prospectors. Buildability™: instant per-property Buildability™ Report covering zoning, setbacks, FAR, FEMA flood zone, environmental risk, infrastructure, and permit pathway. $29 per report or $249-$1,083/month, focused on anyone making a build/buy decision on a specific parcel.
Where Reonomy wins
Reonomy is the right tool when your question is "who owns this commercial building, what is their portfolio, what debt is on it, and how do I reach them?" It has deep ownership data, LLC unmasking, mortgage data, and contact information for commercial real estate prospecting. If you are running cold outreach campaigns to commercial property owners, Reonomy is built for that.
Where Buildability™ wins
Buildability™ is the right tool when your question is "what can I actually build on this parcel, and what are the risks?" Buildability™ covers zoning code, permitted uses, setbacks, height limits, FAR, ADU eligibility, FEMA flood zone, wildfire and seismic risk, EPA contamination proximity, wetlands, infrastructure availability, comparable sales, and a 30-day permit pathway. Reonomy does not provide buildability analysis or zoning interpretation. Buildability™ also covers residential properties (Reonomy is commercial-focused) and has a free first report.
Best use cases
Choose Reonomy if: you are a commercial real estate broker, investor, or prospector who needs ownership data, LLC unmasking, and contact information for cold outreach. Choose Buildability™ if: you are evaluating whether you can build on a specific parcel, screening properties for development potential, checking ADU eligibility, assessing collateral risk, or running due diligence on a deal. Many investors use both — Reonomy to find off-market opportunities, Buildability™ to screen them for buildability.
