land deal

Acreage changing hands

A land deal is a transaction involving the purchase, sale, or exchange of real property.

The term often implies negotiations of significant scale or complexity: The tribe negotiated a land deal with the federal government.

Land deals may carry connotations of political maneuvering or questionable ethics, especially in historical contexts involving displacement or exploitation: shady land deals that enriched developers at taxpayers' expense.
