Phoenix Metro · Parcel-Level Building Evaluation

We score the building.
And everything around it.

Building Intel™ evaluates any Phoenix-metro building across 50 factors in 11 categories — flood exposure, area safety, walkability, transit, broadband, permits, zoning context, environmental records, and the building systems only a landlord can disclose. Every finding is resolved to the specific parcel and tied to a named public source, then combined into a grade weighted by your priorities, not a black-box formula.

Maris Advisors represents tenants and buyers exclusively — never landlords. Building Intel™ exists for one reason: so the building you sign for is the building you think it is. Try the interactive sample below ↓

What the engine evaluates
50 factors
Across 11 categories — 29 scored from live public records resolved to the parcel, and 21 captured through structured landlord disclosure during the deep-dive.
What a typical tour flyer answers
About 6
Square footage, rate, parking, year built, photos, and a locator map. The other 44 questions determine whether your people, your operations, and your risk profile actually fit the building.
What this costs you
Included
Site-selection consultants, due-diligence engineers, and environmental screeners bill thousands of dollars per building for pieces of this picture. Building Intel™ is part of Maris Advisors tenant representation — not a separate billable service.

Why a flyer and a tour aren't enough

Four things most building evaluations never check.

01
Parcel questions, not ZIP-code questions.
Flood zones, crime patterns, and zoning districts change block by block — sometimes lot line by lot line. An evaluation built on ZIP-code averages can put a building on the wrong side of a flood boundary or a crime gradient without anyone noticing. Building Intel™ resolves every geographic factor to the specific parcel.
02
Provenance you can check.
Every finding names its source — the federal flood layer, the city police data, the state traffic count station, the county assessor record — and reports at the resolution that source actually supports. Where coverage doesn't exist, the report says "unavailable" instead of guessing. No hidden data, no hand-waving.
03
Half the picture only the landlord can answer.
HVAC age, electrical service, roof condition, parking ratio, fire-system certification dates — 21 of the 50 factors live behind the landlord's door. Building Intel™ captures them through a structured disclosure process, and they never enter the score until the landlord confirms them. Web rumors don't get graded.
04
The grade reflects your priorities.
A distribution operation and a law firm should never grade a building the same way. The engine seeds category weights from your sector, then your team adjusts them — commute, safety, amenities, resilience, whatever drives your decision. The weights are yours, visible, and defensible. There is no secret formula.

How the engine works

Two evidence layers. One client-weighted grade.

Every factor is classified by where its evidence comes from. Public-record factors are scored immediately for the preliminary report. Landlord-disclosed factors join the score only after the landlord confirms them in the deep-dive. The grade itself is computed from category weights your team controls.

Layer 01
Public Record — 29 factors
Live federal, state, county, and municipal sources: flood mapping, air quality monitors, police incident data, permit feeds, transit networks, broadband availability, traffic counts, environmental databases, assessor records, and zoning layers across the Phoenix-metro cities. Fetched fresh for every evaluation — never stale downloads.
Each finding carries its source name and data vintage. Resolution honesty is enforced: parcel-level where the source supports it, clearly labeled where it doesn't.
Layer 02
Landlord Disclosure — 21 factors
A structured, sector-aware questionnaire covering building systems, services, and conditions only ownership can verify. Responses are documented and attributed. Anything researched but unconfirmed is reported as context only — it never moves the grade until the landlord stands behind it.
The deep-dive re-score happens once disclosure is in hand, turning the preliminary report into the full Building Intel™ scorecard.
Layer 03
Client-Weighted Grade
Category sub-scores are combined using weights seeded from your sector and adjusted by your team. The overall grade is withheld entirely when too little of the weighted picture is known — an honest "not enough data yet" instead of a confident number built on gaps.
Compare mode runs the same analysis side-by-side across candidate buildings without ever manufacturing a false verdict.
One important note. Building Intel™ reports facts: measurements, certification dates, distances, counts, and public records as published. It does not assert code compliance, system adequacy, or fitness for any particular use — those determinations belong to your engineers, inspectors, attorneys, and advisors. Zoning is reported as written in the public record, as disclosure only, and is never graded. Maris Advisors provides this analysis as an informational resource within tenant representation; the decisions remain yours, made with your own professional advisors.
Try it: pick your sector, drag the priorities — then add a second building.
The sample below runs on illustrative, fictional buildings — not live data and not the desktop engine. Watch three things happen: switching sectors re-weights all 11 categories and changes which factors appear, dragging the priority sliders moves the grade in real time, and turning on the comparison shows how the same priorities rank two different buildings — sometimes flipping which one wins. That's the core of Building Intel™: the right building depends on your priorities. When you're ready for the real thing on real buildings, send us your shortlist below.

Illustrative sample — fictional buildings, representative figures only. No live data is fetched and no real property is depicted.

What’s driving the grade
Your priorities
Five of the 11 category weights are open to play with here. The full engine lets your team tune all 11.
Weights are re-balanced behind the scenes so all 11 categories always total 100%. The percentages beside each category update live.
Public-record findings — a sample of the 29
Each finding names its source and reports at the resolution that source supports. These examples are illustrative.
The landlord deep-dive
21 factors · unlocked by disclosure
These are the questions a flyer never answers and a tour can't verify — the building systems, services, and conditions only ownership can confirm. In a real engagement, Maris Advisors puts a structured disclosure questionnaire in front of the landlord, documents the responses, and re-scores the building with the full picture. Until then, these factors stay out of the grade entirely.

Start with your buildings

Send us your shortlist.

Send us the buildings you're weighing — even one or two addresses — and we'll walk you through what the preliminary report would show on each: the public-record findings, the questions only the landlord can answer, and how your priorities would weight the grade.

What it costs: nothing separate. Building Intel™ is included in Maris Advisors tenant representation — the kind of analysis consultants bill thousands per building for.

What happens next: a brief call to understand your sector, priorities, and timeline — no commitments, and nothing is shared with any landlord.
