residential development

New neighborhood construction

Residential development is the process of building housing on land, or a housing project itself—a neighborhood, subdivision, or apartment complex constructed as a planned unit.

The term often appears in real estate and urban planning contexts: A new residential development is going up on the old farmland.

It can range from a handful of homes to sprawling suburban tracts.
