Land Intelligence

Land, read by AI.
Decided by people.

We run a team of AI agents that screen every large land listing in Portugal daily, study each opportunity like an analyst, and prepare the deal — so our people spend their time only on land worth buying.

The problem

Land is the most opaque asset class.

Hidden

Listings hide exact locations. The best plots are buried among thousands of farms and ruins.

Scattered

The truth about a plot sits in a dozen places: municipal master plans (PDM), ecological and agricultural reserves, flood maps, grid data, price records.

Slow

A human analyst needs days per plot. By then, a good plot is gone.

So we built a system that reads all of it, every day.

The Verde Land Engine

Three agents prepare. People decide.

Each stage hands a finished piece of work to the next. Open any stage to see what it reads and what it produces.

01 · Scout

Every large plot in Portugal. Every day.

  • Reads the market daily and filters out the noise — farms, ruins, duplicates — automatically.
  • Measures each plot against the national high-voltage grid and states distance honestly: approximate, best case versus likely.
  • Spots mispricing: €/ha far below area norms, or zoning the asking price ignores.

Its job is to say no fast — so only a handful of plots ever reach the next stage.

02 · Analyst

A full investment memo, before we pick up the phone.

  • Chooses the track: residential value-add, data-centre/energy or commercial.
  • Researches the municipal plan, RAN/REN reserves, Natura 2000, flood zones, grid capacity, comparable prices and active buyers — in Portuguese and English.
  • Scores on a fixed 100-point rubric and gives a verdict, plus the one fact that would change our mind.

Every claim carries a source link. Unknowns are marked “not found”, never guessed.

03 · Deal Desk

The first approach, done right.

  • Finds the right seller contact from public business sources only.
  • Checks our history so we never contact the same plot twice.
  • Drafts a short, professional email in Portuguese asking for exactly the documents that decide the deal.

Drafts only. A partner reads and approves every message.

Five layers of land intelligence

One plot. Every layer that matters.

  1. Market

    Listings, asking prices, €/ha and €/m² benchmarks

  2. Planning

    PDM categories, building indices, approvals — PIP, alvará, loteamento

  3. Constraints

    RAN, REN, Natura 2000, flood zones, protected trees, line corridors

  4. Infrastructure

    220/400 kV substations, grid capacity, fibre, roads, water

  5. Demand

    Housing prices, population, data-centre and logistics activity, active developers

From listing to memo

One gem, end to end.

Illustrative example based on how the system works. Location and price withheld.

  1. 06:00

    Scout flags a 40 ha plot priced well below area norms, close to a 400 kV substation.

  2. 06:20

    Analyst picks the data-centre track and starts research.

  3. 07:10

    Memo ready: planning status, constraints, grid evidence, comparables, score, verdict “Pursue”.

  4. 09:00

    A partner reviews it over coffee. Deal Desk drafts the approach.

  5. 09:30

    The partner approves. The email is sent.

A traditional team does this in a week. We do it before breakfast — and a human still makes the call.

How we operate

Disciplined, not magical.

Humans decide

Agents prepare; partners approve every offer and message.

Sources or silence

Every fact is linked. Nothing is invented.

Fixed rubrics

Every plot is scored the same way, so we compare like with like.

Honest uncertainty

Approximate locations and estimates are labelled as such.

Confidential by design

Our scores, valuations and research never leave the firm.

Always improving

Every deal we win or lose feeds back into the briefs.

What this means for you

Better land, studied before it reaches you.

Investors

More deals screened, stricter selection, faster execution — and a documented decision trail for every acquisition.

Developers & partners

Land that arrives pre-studied: planning, constraints and grid already mapped.

Landowners & agents

A buyer who already understands your land, asks precise questions and moves quickly.

For developers

Bring Land Intelligence into your business.

The framework on this page is not a concept — we built it for our own projects and use it every day. Now we help developers implement it across their business.

We map your markets, sourcing and decision process, then set up the agents, data layers and human checkpoints around your team. Your people stay in charge of every decision; the technology does the groundwork.
