Archistar: The Sydney AI Platform Transforming Property Development Feasibility in Australia

🏗️ Archistar is a Sydney-based property technology company whose AI platform helps developers, architects, town planners, and real estate professionals instantly assess whether a site is suitable for development: cutting weeks of manual research down to seconds.

What Archistar Does

Archistar combines artificial intelligence, planning rules, and geospatial data to give property professionals instant development feasibility analysis. Users enter a property address and the platform automatically analyses zoning regulations, setback requirements, height limits, floor space ratios, heritage overlays, bushfire zones, flood maps, and more: then generates indicative building designs that comply with local planning rules.

The Technology

The platform’s AI processes thousands of planning controls and environmental overlays across Australian councils in real time. Its generative design engine can produce multiple compliant building envelope options for a site, with estimated gross floor area, yield, and construction cost estimates. This gives developers a rapid, data-driven first pass on any site before committing to expensive due diligence.

Key Milestones

  • Founded in 2017 in Sydney by Dr. Benjamin Coorey
  • Raised over AU$60 million in funding
  • Used by major developers, banks, valuers, and real estate agencies across Australia
  • Covers planning controls for all major Australian councils
  • Expanded into property market analytics and site-finding tools
  • Partnerships with major banks and property platforms

Why It Matters for Australian Small Business

For small developers, architects, and property investors, Archistar democratises access to feasibility analysis that previously required expensive town planning consultants. A small builder can now assess 20 sites in the time it used to take to analyse one: dramatically improving deal flow and reducing wasted due diligence spend.
