Increased Development Potential
Parcel assembly allows for larger, more flexible site plans that support complex commercial projects
- Enables creation of large-format retail, office parks, or mixed-use campuses
- Supports multi-building layouts, structured parking, and open plazas
- Greater total square footage allowed under unified site planning
- Simplifies infrastructure design for utilities, stormwater, and circulation
Higher FAR and Height Allowances
Larger lots often qualify for expanded entitlements such as increased density and building heights
- Assembled parcels may cross thresholds for bonus FAR or tower zoning
- Height limits may increase with lot depth, frontage, or area under TOD overlays
- Allows strategic placement of taller structures without violating setbacks
- Bonus incentives often triggered by minimum site area, met by merging lots
Streamlined Zoning and Entitlement Pathways
Unified ownership and site control reduce administrative complexity during approvals
- Site-wide zoning changes or variances are easier to justify at scale
- Master planning approvals may apply to the full assembled parcel
- Reduces duplication of environmental, traffic, and impact assessments
- Fewer jurisdictional conflicts when parcels span zoning districts or overlays
Improved Site Access and Design Flexibility
Larger sites enable better circulation, access points, and compliance with urban design standards
- Multiple frontages allow diverse entry/exit options and wayfinding elements
- Enhanced internal roadways, pedestrian paths, and shared amenities
- Supports phased construction and anchor-tenant accommodations
- Facilitates cohesive architectural and landscape design across the full site
