A systematic arrangement of real estate
ownership interests, freehold or leasehold,
as part of an overall strategy for land
development, municipal planning, or similar
purpose.
The term block layout applies to a
variety of circumstances. For commercial
tenancies, the block layout is a preliminary
sketch showing different rentable space on
various floors of an existing or proposed
building. The layout assists in evaluating
the overall rental efficiency of the
building and is a visual guide for property
leasing and management. In the case of
municipal planning, block layout refers to
the arrangement of residential areas bounded
by neighboring and/or intersecting streets
that identify specific geographic areas
within the urban area. Block layout is also
used in reference to the apportionment of
specific areas of land (blocks) within a
plan of sub-division. Plans of subdivision
typically set out residential or commercial
building lots, street patterns, land for
recreational facilities, park purposes (open
space), and other reserved land (future
use).
Example of
Block Layout
Developer Reed has received draft plan
approval for a new residential subdivision
that contains building lots and street
patterns setting out residential blocks
within the plan. In addition, the layout
includes a specific block of property set
aside for parkland.
