Person who acquires land for building projects (9)

I believe the answer is:

developer

(Other definitions for developer that I've seen before include "Property magnate" , "kind of entrepreneur" , "One benefiting from property" , "Film-treating fluid" , "It creates image" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
