Last January, StreetEasy introduced 3-D floor plans on select for-sale listings, which are powered by the cutting-edge engineers at Floored. With StreetEasy users spending 20 percent more time on a listing with a 3-D floor plan, we’re happy to see that the incorporation of this virtual feature has been a helpful tool for NYC buyers and sellers.

Today, we’re excited to reveal significant advancements for our 3-D floor plans, with enhanced features that will provide an even more precise representation for those browsing listings on StreetEasy. To start, the new 3-D floor plans will be available for both rental and sales listings. Additionally, our enhanced 3-D floor plans will now include detailed representations of physical finishes in listings in their actual color and texture. That means listings with herringbone hardwood floors or exposed brick walls – and simulation of natural lighting – will bring apartments to life right on your screen.

As before, this innovative software is exclusive to StreetEasy, and uses existing 2-D floor plans to create an accurate 3-D model of a property in as little as 24 hours, with no special camera or on-site visits from brokers required. Now, however, the floor plans are given a boost from new material-recognition technology, which scans listing photos to detect physical finishes and then matches the finishes to a digital catalog of materials. Once materials are assigned, the floor plan is reviewed to ensure accuracy.

Lastly – the cherry on top of the virtual sundae – the new and improved 3-D floor plans can now be viewed via StreetEasy’s apps for iOS and Android, in addition to desktop and mobile web.
