Developability

/dɪˌveləpəˈbɪləti/ noun

Definition

The quality or capacity of something to be developed, improved, or expanded in the future.

Etymology

From develop (Latin displicare, 'to unfold') + -ability (suffix indicating capacity or quality), emerging in modern English as a technical term in business and real estate.

Kelly Says

Real estate developers obsess over 'developability'—a property's potential value depends not just on what's there now, but on zoning laws, topography, and future demand that they must predict years in advance!
