Challenge
KLNB is a leading full-service commercial real estate brokerage firm headquartered in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. With decades of experience, KLNB represents landlords, tenants, investors, and developers across the Mid-Atlantic region, delivering market intelligence and transaction expertise to guide high-stakes real estate decisions.
KLNB's brokerage teams often require quick access to reliable zoning information to advise clients on site potential, permitted uses, and long-term development opportunities.
Traditionally, this involved:
- Manually searching municipal zoning websites and documents
- Interpreting fragmented and complex zoning codes
- Creating custom-branded reports for each client presentation
This process was time-consuming, inconsistent, and difficult to scale, especially when handling multiple properties or tight deal timelines. The lack of a centralized zoning data source often slowed down client response times and limited their ability to deliver detailed, branded zoning insights at speed.
“Zoneomics has completely changed the way we approach zoning research. What used to take hours of digging through municipal websites now takes minutes, allowing our brokers to focus on advising clients and closing deals faster.”

KLNB adopted Zoneomics, leveraging two key capabilities:
