CABES Engine — Miami hero HD

What zoning allows.
What the market built.

Miami zoning isn't one rule.
It's a layered entitlement decision.

Development readout

One parcel.
Four development signals.

Not just a zoning maximum. A decision-grade read of what the code allows, what comparable projects delivered, and where upside may exist.

10–20%

PREVIEW · West Brickell sample

Empirical gap

Built outcomes in the submarket can exceed the base by-right envelope through bonuses, reviews and entitlement pathways. CABES maps where that gap appears — parcel by parcel.

Preview metrics · pending validation

p85

PREVIEW

P85 built benchmark

85th percentile of comparable built capacity — a cohort of real neighboring parcels, grounded in what was actually built, not a theoretical maximum.

Empirical observations · public data (post-2015)

Parcel to signal

From an address to a capacity benchmark in seconds. Built for the pace of land acquisition — not multi-week consultant cycles.

Address → zoning context → capacity read

Pathways · entitlement stack

By-right baseline · public-benefit upside · conditional review. Every parcel decomposed into its real layers — each pathway mapped, none assumed.

By-right · bonus-eligible · review-required

Benchmark is not entitlement. Empirical observations from public data (Miami-Dade Open Data, Miami 21). Preview metrics are illustrative and pending validation. Not zoning compliance advice or a substitute for licensed professional review.

This is parcel intelligence, built on real constraints.

The CABES Engine connects zoning, land use, public benefits, and review processes into a single development signal, showing what is permitted, what is possible, and where growth potential may lie in the City of Miami.
