A remnant parcel is an uneconomic remainder of land left after a larger parcel has been sold or developed. Typically, this piece of land is too small or oddly shaped to be of significant commercial value on its own.
In the context of real estate and eminent domain, an uneconomic remainder refers to the portion of a property left after a partial taking by condemnation, which has little or no value in the marketplace. This typically occurs because the taking leaves the remainder with limited access, or an irregular shape or size that renders it unusable.
