Retrofit Atlas

For investors and lenders

A sourced location sheet for every site: demographics, market, risk, access and the filings behind the debt.

Each of the 1,551 US records has a location sheet (1,902 records in all; the rest are outside the US). It covers tract demographics and their ten-year change, county home values, rents and permits, FEMA flood and hazard ratings, walkability, transit and traffic, Opportunity Zone and LIHTC status, and the SEC filings that name the site. Each value names its source and year, and each sits at a stated scale: block group, tract, county or site. Coverage varies by layer: the tract, flood and risk layers are on 721 sites so far; the table below gives the count for each.

Operating malls appear here because the database records every site that was a mall, whatever its status. "Reported by" is the filer named in the exhibit: a trust, or a depositor where the trust is not identified. Loan-level facts exist for 208 sites.

Three ways to get the data

Open a record's JSON file for its full sheet. Query the API by state, radius, element or owner. Or ask for the CSV and SQLite files, issued on request during the academic phase from the downloads page. Keep the sources when you paste into your model, and cite the record id and build date. AI tools reach the same data through the MCP server; its location_sheet tool returns the whole sheet for one site.
