A solution for managing a circuit design, which enables a cell to be incrementally placed in the circuit design based on a resulting wiring distance is provided. A cell to be placed in the circuit design is obtained along with a corresponding set of nets in the circuit design to which the cell is to be connected. A routing grid, which defines a plurality of tiles in the circuit design for consideration in placing the cell, can be generated based on the set of nets for the cell. A wire distance measure can be calculated for each of the tiles in the routing grid using the set of nets. The wire distance measure is then used to identify a target tile for placing the cell. The target tile can be used to find an exact and/or rough placement for the cell.
