Capital gain is levied on capital asset "held". Ownership of asset is not relevant. As you have possession of the asset, you are holding the asset and transfer of such holding right to the builder shall attract capital gain. If, investment is made in residential house, you shall be eligible for benefit under Section 54F of the Income Tax Act.

It is purchase only. There are two transactions- sale of your rights in land resulting in capital gain; and use of that capital gain in purchase of residential property.
