Your acres, three ways: sell, joint-develop or build a layout

Enter your land and area. LandYield takes out roads, parks and civic land, lays out the plots, and compares what you'd net selling it raw, giving it for joint development, or developing the layout yourself.

Land to layout, explained

Short, sourced answers — each one stands on its own.

How many plots fit in an acre?

An acre is 43,560 sq ft. After roughly 45% goes to roads, parks and civic amenities, about 24,000 sq ft is saleable — around 20 sites of 30×40, fewer if the mix has larger plots.

What share do landowners get in a joint development?

Commonly 35–50% of the saleable plots in Bengaluru's outskirts, depending on location, approvals already in hand and who pays for conversion. Get it in a registered JD agreement with timelines and penalties.

Why isn't 'develop it yourself' always best?

It ties up money for years, needs approvals, works and sales — and a slow market or delayed release can turn the margin into a loss. The calculator includes the cost of money, but not every risk.
