Air Rights

Air rights refer to the legal ability to use and control the space above a property’s land. This includes the airspace above buildings and land up to a certain height, which can be sold, leased, or transferred separately from the ground. Developers often purchase air rights to build taller structures or expand existing ones without owning the land itself. These rights are subject to local regulations, zoning laws, and safety standards, balancing property owners’ interests with urban planning needs and community safety.
