Exhibit 99.1

Zoned Properties Expands Real Estate Serviceswith PropTech Data Projects

Property Technology Data Projects to focus ondevelopment of a GIS Zoning & Mapping Project and a Brick & Mortar Retail Consumer Project to Enhance Real Estate Value &Mitigate Risk

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 07, 2021 /BusinessWire/ -- Zoned Properties®, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: ZDPY), a leading real estate development firm for emerging and highly regulated industries including regulated cannabis, today announced its planned investment in and partnership with two new PropTech Data Project teams focused on providing solutions for real estate projects in regulated industries.

The core of our mission at Zoned Properties is to provide real estate services for emerging and regulated industries that can address the material pain points of complex real estate development projects. The PropTech data projects we have implemented will focus on solutions to those pain points from the very beginning of a project through its ongoing operational growth. Zoned Properties has pinpointed critical needs in regulated real estate markets starting from the identification of project sites to how the consumer and the community interacts with the built retail environment (i.e. brick and mortar). “These critical needs have proven to be some of the greatest challenges for project teams in emerging and regulated industries, and we look forward to providing some exciting solutions specific to the cannabis industry,” said Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer.

Zoned Properties GIS Zoning & Mapping Project

●

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are typically created as a framework for gathering and analyzing base sets of data. Related to geography and mapping, GIS platforms have the ability to integrate various types of data that can provide a user with functional layers of information and spatial location using maps and 3D scenes. Locating properly zoned properties can be incredibly challenging in regulated industries as complex as cannabis and can be one of the most difficult early challenges faced by project teams. With our strategic partner and investment into the project, our goal is to utilize advanced property technology to provide solutions for property identification in regulated industries such as regulated cannabis.

Zoned Properties Brick & Mortar Retail Consumer Project

●

Brick & Mortar retail has been experiencing a significant paradigm shift over the past few decades as consumer behaviors have been adapting along with the modern transformation of the retail experience. Emerging and highly regulated industries tend to create legislative policies that may require consumers to go back to brick & mortar, compared to less regulated industries where online tech giants have been dominating the consumer experience. With our strategic partner and investment into the project, our goal is to provide emerging and regulated industry operators with the tools to enhance the value of their brick & mortar real estate, through consumer-centric and brand-centric property technology solutions.

Individuals entering the regulated cannabis industry are increasing exponentially, either as consumers, goods and service providers, or local regulatory professionals. This growth has created a demand to identify, develop, and deliver specific needs for complex real estate projects from start to finish. To assist with these niche demands, Zoned Properties is looking to harness data and provide operations with information that can be organized, packaged, and better positioned to provide streamlined solutions to those individuals.

“For years, we have been navigating these projects organically because it was the only way to get the job done; searching, mapping, and putting the pieces together by hand. Our new focus on PropTech projects collaboration with our new partners are aiming to provide results at a large scale,” commented McLaren. “We look forward to providing further updates as these projects progress and prepare for launch into the marketplace.”

COVID-19 Statement

In March 2020, the World Health Organizationdeclared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We are monitoring this closely, andalthough operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreakand its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. Currently, all of the properties in our portfolio are open toour Significant Tenants and their customers and will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements. We did not experiencein 2020, and we do not foresee in 2021, any material changes to our operations from COVID-19. Our tenants are continuing to generate revenueat these properties and they have continued to make rental payments in full and on time and we believe the tenants’ liquidity positionis sufficient to cover its expected rental obligations. Accordingly, while we do not anticipate an impact on our operations, we cannotestimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on our business if the properties must close or if the tenants are otherwiseunable or unwilling to make rental payments. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks toour business, including weakened demand for our properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptableterms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.
