In the world of real estate development, getting a clear picture of what’s being built—and where—has required a mix of personal networks, time-consuming research, and luck.

SCELTA REDMap changes that.

We sat down with commercial realtor and off-market land sale specialist Razvan Mag on the DIAL IN Podcast to unpack why REDMap is setting a new standard for transparency in Windsor-Essex—and why developers should be paying attention.

Raz and David talk about the benefits REDMap presents developers and communities.

The Problem with Pre-construction Development Planning Today

Despite the scale of construction across the region, Raz points out that “it’s very difficult to actually know what’s going on.”

Only the City of Windsor offers some level of public-facing pipeline info — and even then, “you still have to do a little bit of digging and know what you're looking at.” In most other municipalities across Essex County, you’re out of luck unless you have an inside connection.

“Unless you're calling the city directly,” Raz says, “or have an architect friend who’s legally allowed to share information with you, it’s very difficult to actually know what's going on.”

For developers, that means hours lost chasing leads, unclear timelines, and missed chances to get in early. For community members? A total disconnect from what’s being built in their backyard.

How SCELTA REDMap Brings Real Estate Development Transparency

With REDMap, SCELTA is building the most accessible, real-time map of developments in Windsor-Essex — starting with verified data and expanding it through developer, municipal, and resident input.

“Giving power a bit more back to the consumer… letting developers also know what is going on. It’s only going to better the product,” Raz explains. “It helps actually provide factual information out there. And just feels like a more cohesive pulse on what's actually going on.”

This shift toward visibility doesn’t just serve residents — it empowers developers to make faster, more strategic decisions. Whether you’re monitoring competitor activity, spotting land that’s about to change hands, or preparing for future builds, REDMap helps cut through the noise.

Why SCELTA REDMap Saves Developers Time on Pre-construction Planning

Raz describes:

“SCELTA REDMap is a tool that's saving developers time. It’s providing them information. It’s giving them feedback from consumers. Feedback they can use to create their own opinions on what’s going on.”

And it’s not just about developers. Raz shares that mayors, subcontractors, and even potential buyers are showing excitement.

For developers, this level of public awareness can be a strategic advantage. REDMap becomes a tool for pre-construction visualization — not only helping you see what’s around the corner, but signalling to others that you are a developer worth watching.

SCELTA REDMap: The Future of Pre-construction Visualization

As the government push intensifies to get more housing built, REDMap offers a way to align development ambition with real-time clarity.

“The use of this map is unlimited,” Raz says. “I don’t know where it's going to go or how far it’ll be used — but no matter what, it will provide value.”

If you're a developer navigating the pre-construction landscape in Windsor-Essex, SCELTA REDMap isn’t just helpful — it’s foundational.
