New online marketplace connects US cities with property investors

A new online marketplace seeks to revolutionise communications between US cities and property developers to help unlock the value of underutilised property in America.

OppSites, short for Opportunity Sites, provides US city officials with a platform to highlight underused districts and sites, and collaborate with real estate developers on what they want to see built for economic and social purposes.

Cities and economic development organisations can post development opportunities on OppSites, regardless of whether the location in question is public or privately owned or whether it is presently on sale. Those sites can be found on OppSites by real estate investors and developers.
