building land
A plot of land for which official permission to build buildings exists, or that is designated for that purpose.
Die Preise für Bauland sind in den letzten Jahren in der Stadt stark gestiegen.
The prices for building land in the city have risen sharply in recent years.
'Bauland' is a compound noun made up of 'der Bau' (construction, from 'bauen' — to build) and 'das Land' (land). So it literally means 'land for building'.
Der Bau des neuen Hauses beginnt nächste Woche.
Construction of the new house begins next week.
Common verbs are 'Bauland kaufen' (to buy building land) or 'verkaufen' (to sell). An important technical term is 'Bauland erschließen' (to develop building land). This means preparing the plot for construction with roads, water lines, and power lines.
Die Gemeinde will neues Bauland erschließen, um mehr Wohnraum zu schaffen.
The municipality wants to develop new building land in order to create more housing.
'Bauland' is a central term in real estate, urban planning, and construction law. It has a specific legal definition that determines where building is allowed.
Im Bebauungsplan der Stadt ist dieses Gebiet als Bauland ausgewiesen.
In the city's development plan, this area is designated as building land.
building plot
Both words refer to land that is intended and approved for the construction of a building. “Bauland” refers more to the type of land under building regulations and is often not counted. “Bauplatz,” on the other hand, usually refers to a single, defined plot of land. “Bauland” is suitable when referring to land in general, while “Bauplatz” is used for a specific plot.
Die Gemeinde weist am Ortsrand neues Bauland für mehrere Häuser aus.
The municipality is designating new building land on the outskirts for several houses.
Wir haben einen Bauplatz gekauft, auf dem unser neues Haus entstehen soll.
We bought a building plot where our new house is to be built.
