Any Shape! Any Size! Unlimited Geometries and Layout Options!
The Real Challenge You’re Facing
You’re looking at a potential deal. The site has an angled street, curved boundary, or irregular shape. Before you can move forward, you need answers: What’s the optimal unit mix? How do the sellable, rentable, and gross-to-net areas work out? Does this deal make financial sense?
Getting those answers takes weeks. You hire consultants, wait for manual layouts, spend thousands of dollars—all before knowing if the project is viable. By the time you have the data, you’ve either wasted resources on a deal that doesn’t work, or someone else has moved on the opportunity.
If you’re an architect specializing in feasibility and planning, you face a different problem. You know how to optimize complex sites and create real value through smart unit mix strategy. But demonstrating that expertise quickly—before a client commits or moves to another firm—is nearly impossible. Your competitive advantage stays hidden until it’s too late to win the work.
What We’ve Built
For years, we’ve been working on this exact problem. The technology to analyze non-orthogonal geometries while maintaining accurate unit mix and area calculations didn’t exist in a usable form.
Now it does. Ark Diagonals handles any site geometry—angled, curved, irregular—and gives you immediate feasibility analysis and schematic planning.
Who This Is For
Real estate developers and architects working in multi-housing: multi-family, condominium, rental, mixed-use, senior housing, student housing, and hospitality buildings.
If you need to quickly evaluate whether a deal makes sense, or demonstrate your planning expertise to win clients, this is built for your workflow.
Why We Built This
Many of you use Ark Ortho, our existing product. Your feedback has been clear: the geometry limitations are a real problem.
Ark Ortho was built for New York City’s grid. For Manhattan projects, it works well. But most sites aren’t on a perfect grid. For projects with any geometric complexity—which includes most of the world—those limitations made the tool unusable.
Ark Diagonals solves this.
How This Changes Your Work
For Developers: Analyze any site immediately. Insert your property boundaries, set your parameters—zoning, target unit mix, efficiency goals—and see results in minutes instead of weeks. Know whether to pursue a deal before investing significant time and money. Compare multiple scenarios quickly, optimizing for the metrics that matter to your underwriting.
For Architects: Demonstrate your planning expertise from the first conversation. When a potential client brings you a site, show them optimized unit mix options and feasibility analysis immediately. This transforms feasibility analysis into a business development tool.
Your expertise becomes visible and quantifiable. You become the architect developers seek out because you answer their critical questions faster and more accurately than your competition.
The Tool as Your Partner
Ark Diagonals handles the computational work—rapid iteration, area calculations, unit mix permutations, optimization. You bring the professional judgment, design thinking, and understanding of what makes a project work.
Together, you evaluate more opportunities, respond faster to proposals, win more work, and make better decisions. The tool doesn’t replace your expertise—it amplifies it, letting you do in minutes what currently takes weeks.
Join the Early Adopter Program
We’re looking for developers and architects who want to integrate this into their workflow now. As an early adopter, you’ll get immediate access to the tool, direct input into how it evolves, and a genuine competitive advantage while your peers are still using manual processes.
Apply to become an early tester and help us shape the tool that changes how feasibility analysis works in multi-housing development.
