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.
