Dutch term or phrase: Opstal

Hello,

Can anyone help me with term 'opstalrecht - opstalgever - opstalhouder' in a contract?
I found 'right of superficies' and used 'provider and holder of superficies' for opstalgever and opstalhouder but it doesn't get many hits.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Cheers,

Jonathan

Building / structures & Owner / Superficiary

Explanation:
Ownership of land with property on it is divided, so that the land itself remains the property of the land owner / proprietor (opstalgever), and structure / buildings on the land become the property of the superficiary (opstalhouder).

Opstalrecht is as you say: right of superficies / building (and planting) rights.

A Dutch explanation of the system is provided here:
