real estate developer

Land project investor

A real estate developer is someone who buys land or property, improves or builds on it, and sells or leases the result for profit.

Developers coordinate financing, construction, and marketing—they're dealmakers more than builders, though the terms overlap.

The work ranges from converting a single house into condos to transforming entire neighborhoods: The developer promised affordable units but delivered luxury high-rises.
