Bus/Financial / real estate leasing agreement
French term or phrase: terrain d'assiette
In a real estate leasing agreement, the full clause reads, "le paiement des travaux ne pourra être effectué qu’après qu’XXX ait acquis la maitrise foncière du terrain d’assiette de l’opération". Is "terrain d'assiette" here "the land that is the object of the leasing transaction"? Or is there another standard British English translation for this notion?

TIA!

land on which "l'opération" is conducted
Explanation:
Don't know whether there is an exact coresponding term. In a residential context the "terrain d'assiette" seems to be the plot of ground on which a house stands, for example - including yard areas, etc.
