Rising land values, statutory charges, and taxation are adding upward pressure on development costs across Gujarat, according to industry leaders at a real estate panel. Developers cite multiple cost layers including stamp duty on land acquisition, land conversion fees, development permissions, FSI-related payments, and infrastructure charges as key cost drivers squeezing project margins.
Illinois farmland prices have stabilized after a 2020–2023 surge but face moderate downward pressure from high interest rates and negative farmer returns. Federal support programs are slowing the adjustment in cash rents and prices, keeping declines limited.
Land and site-development costs remained moderately firm during H1 2026, particularly in the United States, as persistent shortages of skilled construction workers and elevated input costs increased development expenses. Data-centre and high-technology manufacturing projects continued competing for contractors and suitable sites, strengthening demand for strategically located land with infrastructure and power availability. Meanwhile, softer activity across some commercial and multifamily segments provided a partial counterbalance by reducing pressure on contractor capacity and limiting broader cost escalation. Industrial and logistics development remained comparatively resilient, supporting demand for well-positioned parcels despite uneven construction activity across the wider market.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, land and site-development costs are expected to remain moderately firm, supported by data-centre and industrial demand, while softer conventional construction activity may limit further cost escalation.

The final quarter of 2025 witnessed continued upward pressure on land prices across multiple global markets, though the pace and drivers varied significantly by region. In Australia, residential land costs maintained their sharp ascent, with Perth leading the charge as prices climbed substantially throughout the period. This growth rate far exceeded general inflation, creating additional challenges for housing affordability initiatives.
The Atlantic Canada region faced a different dynamic, where rising land acquisition costs began constraining new industrial development. Developers reported that land prices reached levels that made traditional project economics increasingly difficult to justify, particularly when balanced against regional rental rates. This mismatch between input costs and achievable returns effectively paused several planned developments.
Meanwhile, infrastructure improvements and enhanced connectivity continued driving land values upward in certain urban districts. Public transport upgrades and road network expansions made previously less accessible areas more attractive to both residential and commercial developers, creating ripple effects across surrounding property markets.
Land Costs include the cost incurred by the buyer for the acquisition of ownership and title of the land parcels, including brokerage, overhead costs, legal costs, and supervision costs. It also includes stamp duty and transfer fees payable to the competent government authority. In the case of real estate projects, land costs also include consideration payable to the outgoing developer to relinquish ownership and title rights over the Land.
