Vacant lots are properties that have been subdivided into smaller parcels. Some of the most recent land purchases have been getting subdivided into 2 or more units to the acre for new construction. Roadways, open space, water retention all eat up available land. An acre of land is approximately 208’ x 208’ or 43,560 square feet to an acre. You may think that 2 units to the acre would equal 2 lots at 21,780 square feet. You need to figure in open space requirements, roads, and all other things that make up a development. You might only get 2 lots with 14,175 square feet each. If you are interested in buying a vacant lot with the intent to build on it you definitely want to make sure it is buildable. You could make a very serious mistake if you think all you need to do is find a lot and then build on it. Let me put my expertise to work for you in getting the right lot, with the right builder to build your future home. If on the other hand you are a builder looking for available lots to build on, I have knowledge of over 10,000 lots coming on the market in the Chicago land area. Put me to work now.
