A plot ratio of 2.8 and 3.5 allows developers to build 176 and 220 low medium-cost units respectively with each unit measuring 700sq ft on a one-acre plot of land, while a 4.0 plot ratio would allow them to build 251 units. — Filepic

Lee Kim Noor said in view of the current pandemic, such a review could reduce congestion and overcrowding at residential development projects.
