Presenting a Land Assembly to a Developer
Enterprise Tier Only
Successfully presenting a land assembly requires more than just property data. Developers want to understand both the redevelopment potential of the site and the progress you've made with individual property owners.
AUTOPROP and iBOMB work together to help you build a professional package that combines detailed property data with a visual presentation of the assembly.
Part 1: Building the Assembly Database
The foundation of any land assembly presentation is accurate property and planning data.
Identify Development Potential
Developers are typically interested in properties located within areas targeted for increased density and future growth.
To identify these opportunities, review municipal planning layers such as:
Official Community Plans (OCP)
Neighbourhood Concept Plans (NCP)
Local Area Plans (LAP)
Future Land Use Designations
Development Applications
AUTOPROP's planning tools can help you locate and evaluate these opportunities efficiently.
For more information, see the guide: Finding Properties with Development Potential.
Collect Property Data
Once you've identified the assembly area:
Select the properties.
Load relevant property data.
Export the results to a spreadsheet.
Commonly requested information includes:
Property addresses
PIDs
Lot sizes
Assessment values
Sales history
Current use
Ownership information
This spreadsheet often serves as the foundation for a developer's preliminary review.
Part 2: Presenting Your Progress
Beyond the raw property data, developers often want insight into the status of the assembly.
Examples include:
Exclusive listings secured
Owner interest levels
Contact status
Negotiation progress
Notes and observations
Adding this information can significantly increase the value of your presentation.
Add Custom Assembly Data
Open your assembly spreadsheet and create one or more custom columns.
Examples include:
Column Name | Example Values |
Exclusive Listing | Yes / No |
Owner Response | Interested / Not Interested |
Contact Status | Contacted / Follow-Up Required |
Notes | Custom comments |
Populate the spreadsheet with your assembly-specific information and save the file.
Import the Assembly into iBOMB
Open Apps → iBOMB.
Click Choose File under the Import section.
Select the updated CSV or Excel file.
Map the Properties
When prompted:
Enable PID Locator.
Select the PID column from your spreadsheet.
Choose a title field (typically Civic Address).
Using PIDs ensures that properties are mapped accurately.
Once imported, all properties will appear on the map.
Visualize Progress with Marker Groups
One of the most effective ways to present assembly progress is through color coding.
Create Marker Groups
Click Marker Groups.
Select a Grouping Column.
Choose the field you want to visualize.
Examples include:
Exclusive Listing
Owner Response
Contact Status
Acquisition Stage
Assign Colors
Assign a different color to each category to create an easy-to-understand visual representation of the assembly.
For example:
Green = Exclusive Listing Secured
Yellow = Owner Interested
Red = No Interest
Blue = Follow-Up Required
This allows developers to quickly assess the status of each property within the assembly.
Finalize Your Presentation
Once your map and property information are configured:
Select the data fields you want displayed in the information bubbles.
Adjust colors and labels as needed.
Save the project.
Export and Share
To share your assembly presentation:
Click Print within iBOMB or
Screenshot your screen or
Generate a hard copy or PDF.
Send the PDF to developers, acquisitions managers, or project stakeholders.
The resulting presentation combines detailed property data with a visual representation of the assembly, helping communicate the opportunity more effectively.
