US Building Footprints Shapefile

[LindseyWinn]

Hi there,

I’ve been searching for a building footprint shapefile for the following cities, but haven’t had any luck:

Cleveland, Dallas, Kansas City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Providence, San Diego, Seattle 

I’ve tried to find one for the entire US, and know Microsoft came out with that data, but I haven’t seen it in shapefile form. Does anyone know where I could find this shapefile (either the entire US or those specific cities)?

Thanks so much!

Hello Lindsey

Check out

GitHub - microsoft/USBuildingFootprints: Computer generated building footprints for the United State... 

You can download the geoson from the link above (it is separated by State)

Use ArcGIS Pro tool - JSON to Features to convert to your desired format

Hope that this helps.

Thank you!! When I open the tool and navigate to the downloaded data, there isn't any file to click on (I don't see any .json formats). Is it more complicated then just opening the tool and running it?

Actually, choosing just the state works, but ArcMap 10.6 doesn't seem to like it in .geojson format. Any thoughts?
