Real estate in Texas has been on the rise in 2015. Although not hit as hard as many other areas in the nation during the recession, the state has seen an impressive amount of investment and development this year. 2015 Houston Aerial Wall Map Mural in Conference Room This developmental growth alters the landscape and vitalizes an area. The last thing a real estate professional wants to do is talk about change while referencing an outdated map or digital image. The Texas markets were screaming for mapping updates, and Landiscor listened.

In 2015 Landiscor released new Aerial Wall Map Murals for the 4 major Texas markets and Houston was at the top of the list. With the previous update coming in 2012, real estate firms, utilities and government agencies in the Houston were in desperate need of new maps. Recognizing this need, Landiscor went to work on our Houston Aerial Map Mural.

Aerial Market Map: Landiscor Turns Digital Images into the Standard in Market Mapping

Posted on August 3, 2015February 27, 2019 by Seth Koshinski

As a collective society we love a transformative story. Whether it is a character in our favorite movie or the narrative of an entrepreneur on a show like Shark Tank, we cannot get enough. Simply put – something that inspires us. We love taking something and ultimately making it better. Companies all over the world have championed this philosophy since the dawn of industrialized thinking. How do we take what we have here and convert it to [fill in the blank] to serve a greater need? Businesses like Apple, Ferrari and Boeing are constantly testing how they can improve their product or process to remain on the cutting edge of innovation. Where am I going with this? Well I am certainly not intending to compare Landiscor to the likes of Fortune 500 companies; however, I am assimilating the shared philosophy of improved design.
Landiscor 10 Layer Market Data Model

To do this I had to start at the beginning. When I sat back and really thought about it, what Landiscor has believed in from its very inception is the power of information – more specifically the information surrounding the change, development and growth of some of our nation’s largest metropolitan areas. Change is necessary to reflect time, behaviors, patterns, choices… and the list goes on. Real estate is no exception to that fact. As we as people change so do our cities, towns and neighborhoods. Change is sometimes met with growth. Growth gives birth to expansion. Here is an all too familiar example. Jobs are introduced into an area. New infrastructure is added to help support the local community. New residences are developed. Retail and shopping centers are constructed to service those new residents. Schools, parks, amenities, etc. This consolidated information creates an environment for faster and better decision-making while providing instant market credibility to real estate commercial brokers, land developers, builders, utilities and governments. So, how do we keep up?

This is where Landiscor comes in. We map the new and reoccurring development throughout a pre-defined market area. With access to current imagery we are provided with a fresh perspective of the growth areas and change happening on the ground. We take this raw image and combine it with information that is most vital for our customers to see and understand which we gather through a refined, in-depth research process. The result of this is the highly unique and valued “10 Layer GIS Model” that we include on every Aerial Wall Map Mural Landiscor creates. The goal is to provide insight to our customers about their local environment so in turn they can accurately communicate the message to their clients. With a presence in over 25 markets, this equates to thousands of pieces of relevant information that visually shares a compelling story of change in a given area.

The 11th layer consists of specific client data they wish to be digitized to the aerial map, along with our data, in order to communicate their individual footprint within the total market design.
