FAR and Plot Utilization Efficiency
The Floor Area Ratio (FAR) defines how much buildable area is allowed per unit of land. For developers, this is a key metric when evaluating land efficiency. A plot with high FAR can accommodate larger or taller structures—ideal for maximizing returns in premium zones. Efficient FAR utilization ensures that no land is wasted and all potential revenue is captured. Knowing how to creatively plan within FAR limits, including mezzanine levels or staggered floors, gives developers a competitive edge.
