After assembling them together into one large parcel, the value of the one large parcel is $525,000. The act of combining several parcels into one parcel is called "assemblage." The increase in value that should result from the consolidation is called "plottage." (e.g., five separate parcels each have a value of $100,000 totaling $500,000.
