Zenerate develops AI-powered feasibility software for real estate development, aiming to streamline the typically manual and time-consuming feasibility studies. The platform integrates generative design with data analytics to automate site assessments and help identify viable project configurations more quickly. Founded in 2020 by architect Benji Shin—who has affiliations with Harvard GSD, Gensler, and HED—the company operates from Los Angeles with a small, focused team. In the architecture and planning sector, its target customers are real estate developers and planning professionals seeking faster, data-informed early-stage planning. In 2024, Zenerate launched the Zenerate App, an AI-powered design automation tool that rapidly generates design options and helps identify suitable unit configurations, reducing the need to redraw floor plans. In 2026, Zenerate announced a partnership with Pivotal Arch to accelerate early-stage real estate development planning.
