real estate project:
... a search for a site or property with
a focus on real estate requirements
as opposed to gathering information about such things as
market, labor availability
or surrounding community; a
project wherein
the interest is purely on the land or available space and
the infrastructure that makes it suitable
for a need defined by an enterprise. A
real estate project may be a component of site
selection but is typically
limited to dealings among those whose interest is strictly
in land or
property.
The term real estate consultant is
sometimes interchanged with site location consultant because
the expertise of the latter
is anchored in having a thorough understanding of how to
handle transactions related to commercial
and industrial real estate. Consultants
capable of wearing both hats usually maintain more extensive
networks of resource
and service providers than local real estate
brokers or agents.
