What drives value

What Your Site Is Worth to a Developer

Developers price land by what they can build. Two lots on the same block can be worth very different amounts.

  • Zoning and buildable area. Floor area ratio, height limits and use rules set how many square feet can be built.
  • Air rights. Unused development rights on an existing building can be sold or used by a neighbor.
  • Lot size and frontage. Wider lots and corner lots allow better layouts and often sell at a premium.
  • City of Yes changes. Recent zoning updates may add buildable area on some sites. We check yours.
  • Condition and occupancy. Vacant delivery, demolition needs and tenants all affect price and timing.

Questions

Development Site Seller FAQ

How do I find out what my lot is worth?

Request a free site valuation. We review zoning, buildable area and recent land sales, then send a written opinion of value.

Can I sell my air rights without selling the building?

Often yes. Unused development rights can sometimes be transferred to a neighboring lot. We help you understand the options with your attorney.

Should I get plans approved before selling?

Not always. Many developers prefer to buy land as is and handle approvals themselves. We can help you compare the options.

Can a development site be sold off market?

Yes. We can present your site privately to qualified developers and investors, list it publicly, or both.
