Residential plots and commercial land are often lumped together as 'property investment'. In practice they are different asset classes with different return engines.
Residential plotted returns in Tricity are appreciation-led: you are underwriting the maturity curve of a pocket. Cash flow is zero (or negative, counting holding costs) until exit.
Commercial returns are yield-led with an appreciation kicker. A tenanted booth or SCO produces income from day one, and the region's densification keeps repricing good frontage.
The effort profile differs too: residential plots are near-zero management; commercial assets need tenancy management and belt-level judgement about catchment growth.
Ticket sizes push the same way — meaningful commercial frontage in Tricity starts well above entry-level plotted pricing. For many buyers the honest answer is sequencing: plotted first for the base, commercial second for the yield.
