Bus/Financial - Real Estate / Hotelprojekt
German term or phrase: Projektbetreiber
Es geht um die Beschreibung eines Hotelprojekts, die an potenzielle Investoren verschickt wird.

Unternehmen bzw. Projektanten/Projektbetreiber:
Projektbetreiber ist eine private Errichtungs- und Verpachtungsgesellschaft.

Ich frage mich jetzt, ob es einen "project operator" geben kann, oder ob "project manager" oder überhaupt ein anderer Ausdruck besser wäre.

Project operator
Explanation:
I'd have no second thoughts about using your expression if it's a hotel or business block being built. It could well apply to a chemical factory or similar as well. It is IMO a simile for sponsor in most cases. Really, only the context you have can indicate which of the two postings should be used.
