Lot is used to differentiate different parts of a property : lot 1, lot 2..., lot 7 etc... It is used in building and on maps by architects, contractors, etc... On google you'll find lots of lot (funny !) associated to construction.

property
as said before, this depends on context. if it is a subdivision and part is private and the other(perhaps commercial) "property" is a fairly general term...otherwise send more context.

premises
An alternative to property, this is a very general word which is often used for mixed communal/private property. See this definition:
Land and the buildings on it, or a building or part of a building. In the guide this term is often used as a broad term covering the various types of rental premises, from farms and houses to single condominium and apartment units.

4 hrs
unit
I completed a translation recently in which I translated 'lot' for 'unit' and it worked in that context. So, basically, as the others say, this all depends on context so here is another option that you can consider.
14 hrs
package
Hard to tell without more context, but it sounds like "lot" could be referring to a group of properties treated as a unit. If that is the case, "package" would convey this.
Discussion
4 a : a portion of land b : a measured parcel of land having fixed boundaries and designated on a plot or survey .
Kind regards from Marseilles and a good Sunday !
