Everyone nowadays wants to get the best financial outcome for themselves... no matter where. Therefore, your desire to earn as much as possible from the sale is not objectionable. The investor will also not do the whole project for fun but plan with the aim of achieving the highest possible financial profit. And again... in the end, it does not matter whether you feel disadvantaged afterward or not. There are only two possibilities: 1. You agree. You get amount X and both parties are satisfied with it. 2. You do not agree, as the investor offers at most amount X so that the project is profitable. But you want amount Y because otherwise you are dissatisfied. Result: You get no money. The investor cannot build. You just have to ask yourself what you want to do with the land and whether you will even get such an opportunity again. As said, no one is forcing you to sell.
