property development
Land into buildings
Property development is the business of buying land or buildings, improving them, and selling or leasing them for profit.
A developer might construct new buildings on vacant land, renovate existing structures, or convert properties to new uses.
The term covers residential, commercial, and industrial projects: She made her fortune in property development.
In British English, the full phrase is common; Americans often say real estate development.
