Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 574/464/B=1434) If you bought two plots with the intention of selling and later on you changed your intention and intended to construct house over the plot and rent it, and for one plot you intended to give to your daughter, then these plots are no more a business property; hence the zakah of plots shall not be wajib on you.
