What are projects and estates in land development?

In land development, the terms "projects" and "estates" are often used interchangeably.

An estate typically refers to a named residential subdivision or community created from a land development project. It is a branded outcome of a project and often marketed with lifestyle or community appeal.

It usually includes:

• A defined number of lots (e.g., 150 to 500+)
• Internal roads and landscaping
• Branding (e.g., “Riverstone Meadows” or “Arbourwood”)
• Amenities (parks, playgrounds, walking tracks)
• Example:“The Arbourwood Estate in Morayfield has just released Stage 3."
