Compound of 敷地(しきち) ('building site; plot of land') and 面積(めんせき) ('area'). One of the standard pieces of information given in any Japanese real estate or construction document.

USAGE:

  • Standard real-estate listings show three areas: 敷地面積(しきちめんせき) (site area), 建築(けんちく)面積(めんせき) (building footprint), and 延床面積(のべゆかめんせき) (total floor area, summed across all floors).
  • Often expressed in 平米(へいべい) (m²) or (つぼ).
  • 敷地(しきち) can refer to a residential lot, a school campus, a factory site, or a temple grounds; 敷地面積(しきちめんせき) is the area of any of these.
  • The Japanese building code restricts the 建蔽率(けんぺいりつ) ('building-to-land ratio') and 容積率(ようせきりつ) ('floor-area ratio') based on the 敷地面積(しきちめんせき).
