Before comparing parcels

Look at the ground.
Ask for the records.

Examine the parcel and its existing improvements before assuming the site is vacant or ready for new construction. Ask how the survey, access and prior use relate to your proposed building.

Waterfront buildings and autumn trees reflected in calm water.
Waterfront area context, not a land listing.

Your proposed project

Compare the site
with the work you intend.

Describe the use and the building.

Setbacks, historic controls and permitting questions should be checked for the actual address. A nearby lab or multifamily building is not proof that a similar use or scale is possible on your parcel.

Check boundaries, access and services.

Request the survey and available property documents. Ask where the parcel ends, how it can be accessed and whether easements or restrictions affect your plan. Find out what records describe water, wastewater, electricity and other connections; nearby services do not establish a connection to this lot.

Investigate the land and any earlier use.

Ask for available site, inspection and environmental records. Discuss the ground, drainage, existing improvements and past activities with qualified advisers. Vacant land and a redevelopment property can raise different questions; neither description proves that the site is ready for construction.

Keep the purchase budget separate from project costs.

Compare the land price with the survey, investigations, design, financing, site work, utility connections and construction your plan may require. Review the actual records and transaction terms with your lender and advisers rather than relying on an estimated return or an assumed approval.
