What to keep in mind
Review title to land, contributions, permits, finance and contracts with builders, investors and purchasers; ring-fencing individual projects may be appropriate.

Distinctions often confused
Ownership of land is legally distinct from owning shares in the entity that exploits it.
Frequently asked questions
Must every building have its own company?
