empty lot
Bare urban space
An empty lot is a piece of land, usually in an urban or suburban area, with no buildings on it.
Empty lots often sit between developed properties, sometimes overgrown or used informally for parking, dumping, or play: Kids played baseball in the empty lot behind the grocery store.
The phrase implies potential—something could be built there but hasn't been.
