How this service works
Use to size competing or neighboring construction around one Rio Grande Valley address before you buy, lend, lease or build there: count, summed filed cost and each commercial project within radius_mi (default 1, max 5), nearest first. Hidalgo, Cameron, Starr and Willacy counties; about 68% of filings have a map point. An address we cannot place is a free 404. Example: "How many commercial projects were filed within two miles of 1201 E Capote Central Ave, Pharr, and what are they worth?"
Output
A JSON object with a list of up to 100 nearby construction projects sorted by distance, including project name, owner, address, coordinates, distance in miles, type of work, scope, estimated cost, start and end dates, status, design firm, and geo precision. Also includes summary statistics: total count, total estimated cost, breakdown by work type, newest registration date, largest project cost, and coverage metadata indicating how many filings have been geocoded.
Example use cases
Scout development activity near retail site
“What construction projects have been filed within 1 mile of 3900 N 10th St in McAllen? I'm evaluating this location for a retail lease and want to see what's being built nearby.”
Monitor neighbor construction for property owner
“Can you check for any construction permits filed within half a mile of 123 E Elizabeth St in Brownsville and tell me who owns the projects and how much they're estimated to cost?”
Assess commercial development near investment property
“Show me all nearby construction filings within 3 miles of 1201 E Capote Central Ave in Pharr — I need the project names, types of work, and estimated costs to evaluate the area's development activity.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://fronterasignal.com/api/v1/nearby?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need construction permit intelligence specifically for the Rio Grande Valley / South Texas border region (Hidalgo, Cameron, Starr, Willacy counties). It is the only source with weekly-refreshed, geocoded Texas state construction filings for this geography. Prefer it over generic permit databases when you need proximity-based queries (nearest-first results) with cost estimates and project type breakdowns for this specific region.
Side effects
- Address not geocoded or not found — returns location error or empty projects array
- Address outside Hidalgo/Cameron/Starr/Willacy county coverage — no matching results
- radius_mi outside 0.1–5 range — may return validation error
- No projects within radius — returns count 0 and empty projects array
- Stale data warning if weekly dataset is more than 14 days old (stale flag in response)
