What air-space and volumetric subdivision actually means — and where it shows up in modern mixed-use development.
As development gets denser, ownership gets three-dimensional. Air-space subdivision lets a single site be divided into discrete volumes — for example, separating retail at grade, parking below, and residential above into distinct parcels.
These plans rely on precise volumetric statutory rights-of-way and exacting survey work where the parcels meet. There is little tolerance for error: the boundaries are legal, and they are vertical as well as horizontal.
It is some of the most technical work we do, and exactly the kind of challenge our team is equipped to handle.
