query: Al Capone died.

pos: Al Capone Alphonse Gabriel Capone ( -LSB- æl_kəˈpoʊn -RSB- January 17 , 1899 -- January 25 , 1947 ) , sometimes known by the nickname Scarface , was an American gangster who attained fame during the Prohibition era as the co-founder and boss of the Chicago Outfit . His seven-year reign as crime boss ended when he was 33 years old .   Capone was born in Brooklyn in New York City to Italian immigrants . He was considered a Five Points Gang member who became a bouncer in organized crime premises such as brothels . In his early twenties , he moved to Chicago and became bodyguard and trusted factotum for Johnny Torrio , head of a criminal syndicate that illegally supplied alcohol -- the forerunner of the Outfit -- and that was politically protected through the Unione Siciliana . A conflict with the North Side Gang was instrumental in Capone 's rise and fall . Torrio went into retirement after North Side gunmen almost killed him , handing control to Capone . Capone expanded the bootlegging business through increasingly violent means , but his mutually profitable relationships with mayor William Hale Thompson and the city 's police meant that Capone seemed safe from law enforcement .   Capone apparently reveled in attention , such as the cheers from spectators when he appeared at ball games . He made donations to various charities and was viewed by many to be a `` modern-day Robin Hood '' . However , the Saint Valentine 's Day Massacre of gang rivals , resulting in the killing of seven men in broad daylight , damaged Chicago 's image -- as well as Capone 's -- leading influential citizens to demand governmental action and newspapers to dub him `` Public Enemy No. 1 '' .   The federal authorities became intent on jailing Capone , and they prosecuted him for tax evasion in 1931 , a federal crime and a novel strategy during the era . During the highly publicized case , the judge admitted as evidence Capone 's admissions of his income and unpaid taxes during prior ( and ultimately abortive ) negotiations to pay the government any back taxes he owed . Capone was convicted and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison . After conviction , he replaced his old defense team with experts in tax law , and his grounds for appeal were strengthened by a Supreme Court ruling , but his appeal ultimately failed .   He was already showing signs of syphilitic dementia early in his sentence , and he became increasingly debilitated before being released after eight years . On January 25 , 1947 , Capone died of cardiac arrest after suffering a stroke .

neg: Old Log Cabin Bourbon Whiskey In 1927 , during the height of Prohibition , Midwest gangster Al Capone decided that so much liquor was flowing into the United States across the Canada -- US border through Detroit that he decide he wanted in on the action . After some negotiations , he formed a partnership with the Purple Gang of Detroit . They took Canadian Club Whiskey , labeled it `` Old Log Cabin '' Whiskey . One of the people that Capone sold Old Log Cabin to was fellow Chicago bootlegger , Bugs Moran . Bugs Moran decided that he was n't making enough money off his liquor sales and decided to re-buy Old Log Cabin from hijackers at half the price . Moran 's crew started hijacking the Purple Gang supply trucks heading into Detroit .   Category : Prohibition in the United States

neg: Ralph Capone Ralph `` Bottles '' Capone , Sr. , ( January 12 , 1894 -- November 22 , 1974 ) was a Chicago mobster and an older brother of Al Capone and Frank Capone . Ralph Capone got the nickname `` Bottles '' not from involvement in the Capone bootlegging empire , but from his running the legitimate non-alcoholic beverage and bottling operations in Chicago . Further family lore suggests that the nickname was specifically tied to his lobbying the Illinois Legislature to put into law that milk bottling companies had to stamp the date that the milk was bottled on the bottle . He was most famous for being named by the Chicago Crime Commission `` Public Enemy Number Three '' when his brother Al was `` Public Enemy Number One '' .

neg: Genovese crime family New Jersey faction The Genovese crime family 's New Jersey faction is a group of mobsters within the Genovese crime family that control the family 's interests in organized crime activities in the state of New Jersey . The New Jersey faction of the Genovese crime family has maintained a strong presence in the Northern New Jersey area since the prohibition era . The faction is divided into multiple crews and has increased in power over the years with members controlling illegal activities in labor racketeering , loansharking , extortion , and illegal gambling . Members within the faction have held top leadership position in the Genovese crime family dating back to the 1930s with underboss Guarino `` Willie '' Moretti . From the 1990s until his death in 2010 , Tino `` the Greek '' Fiumara had been in control of the New Jersey faction .

neg: Charles Carrollo Charles Vincent `` Charlie the Wop '' Carrollo ( born August 25 , 1902 -- died 1979 ) was a Kansas City , Missouri crime boss during the 1930s .   Born Vincenzo Carrollo in Santa Cristina Gela a town in the province of Palermo , Sicily , Carrollo 's family emigrated to the United States when he was three years old , initially settling in New York City before moving to Kansas City . His father was Antonio Carrollo and his mother Rosa Maria Carrollo .   At some time after 1917 , Carrollo became a close friend and enforcer for future Kansas City mob boss John Lazia . During the early 1920s , when Lazia was arrested for bootlegging , Carrollo accepted responsibility for the crime and went to prison for a short time . By the late 1920s , Lazia controlled all organized crime in Kansas City and Carrollo was a top lieutenant .   On the night of July 10 , 1934 , Carrollo drove Lazia and his wife Marie to their apartment building . When Lazia got out of the car , an unidentified `` hit team '' gunned him down in a hail of submachine gun fire . Lazia last word 's were for Carrollo to drive Marie to safety . Carrollo and Marie Lazia escaped unharmed . The murder was never solved . With the aid of the Kansas City Pendergast political organization , Carrollo became the new mob boss . Carollo and newly appointed Kansas City police chief Otto Higgins became closely involved in numerous criminal activities .   In 1939 , Treasury Agents under Secretary Henry Morgenthau , Jr. started pursuing Carrollo . Carrollo responded by refusing any warrants and sending his gunmen to harass the agents . However , on October 20 , 1939 , Carrollo , Higgins , and Tom Pendergast were convicted of income tax evasion and sent to Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary in Leavenworth , Kansas . While at Leavenworth , Carrollo was discovered trafficking in contraband within the prison and was transferred to Alcatraz , the high security prison in San Francisco Bay .   Released from prison in 1954 , Carrollo was eventually deported to Italy . In 1979 , Carrollo died of natural causes in Kansas City .

neg: Vito Giacalone Vito William `` Billy Jack '' Giacalone ( April 16 , 1923 -- February 19 , 2012 ) was an American organized crime figure in Detroit , serving as a capo in the Detroit Partnership . He was the younger brother of Anthony `` Tony Jack '' Giacalone , also a capo in the Detroit Partnership .   Vito Giacalone was described in a 1992 court document as `` the most important figure in the Detroit ` Family ' after its ` boss ' Jack Tocco '' . Furthermore , a 1992 IRS document cited Giacalone as `` one of the prime suspects in the 1975 disappearance of former Teamsters leader James R. Hoffa '' .

neg: Michele Miranda Michele `` Big Mike '' Miranda ( July 6 , 1896 -- July 16 , 1973 ) was a longtime member and eventual consigliere of the Genovese crime family and one of the most powerful New York gangsters in the 1950s and 1960s .

neg: Death row Death row is a special section of a prison in the United States that houses inmates who are awaiting execution after being sentenced to death for the conviction of a capital crime . The US is the only Western country that still applies the death penalty for capital crimes . Thirty-one of its 50 states and the federal government authorize this penalty . But by 2016 , sixteen of these states and the federal government had a formal or `` de facto '' moratorium , due in large part to questions about the death penalty itself or the use of lethal injection as a method of execution .   `` Death row '' is a term also used figuratively to describe the state of awaiting execution ( `` being on death row '' ) , even in places where no special facility or separate unit for condemned inmates exists . After a person is found guilty of a capital offense , the judge will give the jury the option of imposing a death sentence or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole ( LWOP ) . It is up to a jury to decide whether to give the death sentence ; this usually has to be a unanimous decision . If sentenced to death , a convict will remain on death row during appeal and habeas corpus procedures , which can take years . Since 1973 and later , with an increasing number of persons being freed since 1993 , some 157 persons as of January 2017 have been exonerated on appeal and released from death row . Wrongful convictions have been proven based on DNA evidence , informants retracting testimony or being proven false , prosecutorial misconduct , racial bias in jury selection , and other constitutional issues .

neg: Death-inducing signaling complex The death-inducing signaling complex or DISC is a multi-protein complex formed by members of the `` death receptor '' family of apoptosis-inducing cellular receptors . A typical example is FasR , which forms the DISC upon trimerization as a result of its ligand ( FasL ) binding . The DISC is composed of the death receptor , FADD , and caspase 8 . It transduces a downstream signal cascade resulting in apoptosis .   The Fas ligands , or cytotoxicity-dependent APO-1-associated proteins , physically associate with APO-1 ( also known as the Fas receptor , or CD95 ) , a tumor necrosis factor containing a functional death domain . This association leads to the formation of the DISC , thereby inducing apoptosis . The entire process is initiated when the cell registers the presence of CD95L , the cognate ligand for APO-1 . Upon binding , the CAP proteins and procaspase-8 ( composed of FLICE , MACH , and Mch5 ) bind to CD95 through death domain and death effector domain interactions . Procaspase-8 activation is thought to occur through a dimerization process with other procaspase-8 molecules , known as an induced proximity model .   The CAP proteins associate only with the oligomerized version of APO-1 when forming the complex . The CAP1 are CAP2 proteins are also known as FADD/MORT1 , an adaptor molecule with a death domain . CAP4 is also called FLICE , a cysteine protease with two death effector domains . CAP3 is the prodomain of FLICE generated during proteolytic activation . Once the DISC assembles , it allows APO-1 signaling to occur , which triggers cell death . In order to do this , downstream targets such as FLICE must be activated . In its inactive state , FLICE 's two death domains are thought to bind together and prevent its activation . Once APO-1 aggregates within the cytosol , it recruits FADD , CAP3 , and FLICE to the receptor , where FLICE is modified into several active subunits , which have the ability to cleave a variety of substrates . This proteolytic activity then results in a cascade of caspase activation , and ultimately cell death . This apoptotic activity is critical for tissue homeostasis and immune function .   APO-1-mediated apoptosis can be inhibited by a variety of factors , including the viral caspase inhibitors CrmA and p35 , as well as viral FLICE-inhibitory proteins known as v-FLIPs . When in the presence of APO-1 , v-FLIPs preferentially bind and prevent procaspase-8 from being recruited ; as such , apoptosis is stalled . Interestingly , humans have a homolog for v-FLIP known as c-FLIP , which occurs in two endogenous forms ( c-FLIPL ( long ) and c-FLIPS ( short ) ) . These are similar in structure to procaspase-8 , but lack the amino acids necessary for caspase-8 catalytic activity . It is thought that c-FLIP may be involved in modulating the immune system , as c-FLIPS is upregulated upon stimulation of the T cell receptor . Furthermore , as high expression of FLIP is known to promote tumor growth , these inhibitor molecules play a role in cancer proliferation .   The DISC has been implicated as a possible drug development target for various cancers , including leukemia , glioma , and colon cancer . In glioma cells , the effects of TRAIL ( tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand ) have been shown to induce DISC-mediated apoptosis . Specifically , TRAIL works by activating two death receptors , DR4 and DR5 ; these bind to FADD , which then interacts with caspase-8 to assemble the DISC . Tumor cells show varying sensitivity to TRAIL modulated apoptosis , depending on the presence of the antiapoptotic FLIP proteins . Additionally , studies in leukemia have indicated that the histone deacetylase inhibitor LAQ824 increases apoptosis by decreasing the expression levels of the c-FLIPs . As such , these inhibitors are promising targets for anti-cancer therapy .

neg: Salvatore Riina Salvatore `` Salvo '' Riina -LSB- ˈriːnə -RSB- ( born 16 November 1930 ) , called Totò ' u Curtu ( `` Totò the Short '' Totò is another nickname for `` Salvatore '' ) , is an Italian mobster and the former chief of the Sicilian Mafia , known for a ruthless murder campaign that reached a peak in the early '90s , when the deaths of Antimafia Commission prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino caused widespread public revulsion and led to a major crackdown by the authorities . He was also known by the nicknames la belva ( `` the beast '' ) and il capo dei capi ( Sicilian : ' u capu di ' i capi , `` the boss of the bosses '' ) .   Riina succeeded Luciano Leggio as foremost boss of the Corleonesi faction of the criminal organization in the early 1980s and achieved dominance by a campaign of violence , which caused police to target his rivals . As a fugitive Riina was less vulnerable to the law enforcement reaction to his methods , and police removed many of the older type of boss , who had operated by influence peddling and bribery . Favoured assassin Giovanni Brusca estimated he murdered 100-200 people on Riina 's orders . Riina also advocated , in violation of traditional Mafia codes , the killing of women and children , and killed uninvolved members of the public solely to distract law enforcement . Although his scorched-earth policy neutralized any internal threat to his position , Riina increasingly showed a lack of his earlier guile by bringing his organization into open confrontation with national authorities . After decades living as a fugitive he was captured , which provoked a series of indiscriminate bombings of art galleries and churches . Riina is currently being held on the stringent Article 41-bis prison regime , one of several measures that resulted from his defiant strategy .

neg: Santo Trafficante Sr. Santo Trafficante Sr. ( May 28 , 1886 -- August 11 , 1954 ) was a Sicilian-born mobster , and father of the powerful mobster Santo Trafficante Jr. .   Santo Trafficante Sr. gained power as a mobster in Tampa , Florida and ruled the Mafia in Tampa from the 1930s until his death in 1954 . Trafficante was heavily involved in the operation of illegal bolita lotteries . During his reign , Trafficante was a well-respected boss with ties to Charles `` Lucky '' Luciano and Thomas Lucchese . He sent his son Santo Trafficante Jr. to New York City to learn from other mobsters . Upon his death , Santo Trafficante Sr. gave the power to his son , Santo Trafficante Jr. . This was a respected decision since the New York bosses and Tampa mobsters liked Santo Jr. .

neg: Donnie Brasco (film) Donnie Brasco is a 1997 American crime drama film directed by Mike Newell , and starring Al Pacino and Johnny Depp . Michael Madsen , Bruno Kirby , James Russo , and Anne Heche appeared in supporting roles .   The film is based on the true story of Joseph D. Pistone ( Depp ) , an FBI undercover agent who infiltrated the Mafia Bonanno crime family in New York City during the 1970s , under the alias Donnie Brasco , a.k.a. `` The Jewel Man '' .

neg: James Torello James Vincent `` Turk '' Torello ( December 15 , 1930 -- April 13 , 1979 Woodridge , Illinois ) was an Italian-American mobster who became a caporegime and leading enforcer for the Chicago Outfit during the mid-to-late 1970s .   Born in Chicago , Illinois , Torello 's first arrest was in 1945 ; his rap sheet would eventually include convictions for auto theft , armed robbery , burglary and hijacking . Torello would serve two years in federal prison for violating firearms laws . Torello would serve as capo of the South Side/26th Street crew . Union boss and mob associate John Serpico would later testify after turning informant that he and Torello were born on the same street and lived half a block away from one another .   In the late 1960s , Torello sent Robert `` Bobby the Beak '' Siegel to Las Vegas to help collect $ 87,000 from an associate of Frank `` Lefty '' Rosenthal , the Outfit agent at the Stardust Hotel & Casino . This story was related by Siegel at the `` Family Secrets '' organized crime trial , in Chicago , in the summer of 2007 .   On another occasion , an angry mob boss Sam Giancana dispatched Torello and mobster Jackie Cerone to kill Outfit member Frank Esposito , in Florida . Luckily for Esposito , the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI ) secretly recorded Giancana 's conversation and warned Esposito . He then settled his dispute with Giancana and the hit was canceled . According to tape recordings , Torello and his killers had planned to murder Esposito , cut him up in small pieces and feed them to the sharks off the Florida coast .   By the early 1970s , Torello had become a high-ranking member within the Outfit . In 1973 , with the death of Fiore `` Fifi '' Buccieri , Torello became the Outfit 's chief enforcer . He also became involved in loan sharking , illegal gambling and pornography .   In the late 1970s Torello bought a home in Palm Springs , California , and in April 1979 , he died of cancer at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago . He was 49 .

neg: Mario Riccobene Mario `` Sonny '' Riccobene ( 1933-1993 , New Jersey ) was a member of the Philadelphia crime family . He later became a federal witness after his son committed suicide with the fear of being killed from Nicodemo Scarfo and his fellow gangsters . He later returned to his old lifestyle and in 1993 murdered by his old associates . Riccobene had been in the witness protection program but eventually removed from the program because he was unable to follow the rules .

neg: Barrel murder A barrel murder was a method of `` execution '' used by early American mafiosi since the 1870s , although the earliest recorded barrel murders in New York were reported in 1895 and 1900 .   The victims , usually Italian immigrants , would be found stuffed inside a barrel after being shot , stabbed , or strangled to death , and left on a random street corner , back alley , or shipped to a nonexistent address in another city . First used by the Sicilian Provenzano crime family in New Orleans and the Morello crime family in New York City , the barrel murders eventually alerted authorities of the existence of the Mafia , leading to the later investigation by New Orleans police chief David C. Hennessy , whose own eventual assassination was attributed to Sicilian mafiosi in 1890 , resulting in one of the largest mass lynchings in U.S. history . New York detective Joseph Petrosino 's early investigations into the New York barrel murders would also lead to a crackdown against the Black Hand and the Morellos until his assassination in 1909 . The Morellos , suspected of over 100 murders , continued to use the barrel murder for over thirty years until eventually ceasing after the ( now well-publicized ) murders , which obtained unwanted attention from local authorities , as did the practice of other non-Italian criminals drawing police suspicion away from themselves onto the Morellos and other Italian mafiosi .

neg: Michael Tabor (Black Panther) Michael Aloysius Tabor ( December 13 , 1946 -- October 17 , 2010 ) was an American member of the Black Panther Party who was charged and tried as part of an alleged conspiracy to bomb public buildings in New York City and kill members of the New York Police Department . Four months into the trial Tabor and another defendant fled to Algeria . Despite his ultimate acquittal on all charges , Tabor remained in exile in Africa until his death , never returning to the United States .   Tabor was born on December 13 , 1946 , in Harlem and joined the Black Panther Party while in his teens . In 1970 , Tabor and 12 other members of the Black Panthers were charged for their involvement in a plot to kill police officers and to plant bombs in New York City commercial and public buildings , including the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx . Support for the prosecution 's case came from undercover officers who claimed that the defendants had developed plans for a series of bombings and had conducted classes to instruct those participating in the plot how to construct explosive devices .   Together with fellow defendant Richard Moore , Tabor failed to appear at their trial in February 1971 , forfeited $ 150,000 in bail and were declared fugitives . Blank Panther leader Huey P. Newton called Moore and Tabor `` enemies of the people '' for evading justice while on trial and putting the other defendants and the party at risk . Connie Matthews , Newton 's former secretary and Tabor 's wife , also left the country and was said to have taken valuable records with her . The two finally surfaced in Algeria the following month together with Eldridge Cleaver .   The New York Times published a lengthy letter from Moore on the day before the verdicts were read explaining that they had fled the U.S. because they feared that their lives were at risk . On May 13 , 1971 , after an eight-month-long trial , the jury in New York Supreme Court in Manhattan delivered an acquittal on all 156 counts . In a statement issued from Algiers , Tabor stated that the trial represented `` an attempted railroad and that the defendants ' rights were flagrantly violated '' and said that he was `` overjoyed that the brothers are free '' .   Algeria expelled Tabor and he and Matthews moved to Zambia in 1972 , where Tabor wrote about politics and hosted a radio show . Despite repeated requests , Tabor refused to return to the United States . He died at age 63 in Lusaka , Zambia , on October 17 , 2010 , due to complications of multiple strokes . He was survived by his second wife , Priscilla Matanda , as well as by a daughter and three sons .

neg: List of deaths through alcohol This is a list of notable people who died either from the effects of excessive alcohol consumption or alcohol poisoning . The Journal of the American Medical Association defines alcoholism as `` a primary , chronic disease characterized by impaired control over drinking , preoccupation with the drug alcohol , use of alcohol despite adverse consequences , and distortions in thinking , most notably denial . '' The majority of people in this list died from causes brought on by alcoholism . In some cases , they died of multiple causes , with alcoholism being a major factor . Exceptions to this are those who died from accidental death , such as alcohol poisoning caused by binge drinking . In these cases , misuse of drugs sometimes contributed to the person dying . Deaths caused indirectly by alcohol , such as in a car accident are not listed here . The table below lists people who died as a direct result of alcohol misuse . Dates of death are listed instead of dates of birth .

neg: Al Smith Alfred Emanuel `` Al '' Smith ( December 30 , 1873 -- October 4 , 1944 ) was an American statesman who was elected Governor of New York four times and was the Democratic U.S. presidential candidate in 1928 .   Smith was the foremost urban leader of the Efficiency Movement in the United States and was noted for achieving a wide range of reforms as governor in the 1920s . The son of an Irish-American mother and a Civil War veteran father , he was raised in the Lower East Side of Manhattan near the Brooklyn Bridge , where resided for his entire life . Like many other New York politicians of his era , he was also linked to the notorious Tammany Hall political machine that controlled New York City 's politics , although he remained personally untarnished by corruption . Smith was a strong opponent of Prohibition , which he did not think could be enforced , and viewed it as an over-extension of the government 's constitutional power . He was also the first Catholic nominee for President . His candidacy mobilized Catholic votes , especially from women , who had only recently received federal suffrage . It also brought out the anti-Catholic vote , which was especially strong among white conservative Democrats in the South , although Smith was still successful within the states of the traditional Deep South .   As a committed `` wet , '' or anti-Prohibition , candidate , Smith attracted not only drinkers but also voters angered by the corruption and lawlessness that developed alongside prohibition . Many Protestants feared his candidacy , including German Lutherans and Southern Baptists , believing that the Catholic Church and the Pope would dictate his policies . Most importantly , this was a time of national prosperity under a Republican White House . Smith lost in a landslide to Republican Herbert Hoover , who gained electoral support from six southern states . Four years later Smith sought the 1932 nomination but was defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt , his former ally and successor as Governor of New York . Smith entered business in New York City and became an increasingly vocal opponent of Roosevelt 's New Deal , believing that its true agenda was to make the American people less `` self-reliant and independent . '' He ultimately went on to support Republican nominees Alf Landon in the 1936 presidential election and Wendell Willkie in the 1940 presidential election .

neg: Joe Glaser Joseph G. `` Joe '' Glaser ( December 17 , 1896 -- June 6 , 1969 ) was an artist manager famous for his involvement in the careers of Jazz musicians , including Louis Armstrong and Billie Holiday .   Glaser was the son of a Chicago family of Russian Jewish origins . After a series of irregular jobs ( fight promoter , club manager ) , with the help of his alleged mob connections he started managing Louis Armstrong in May 1935 . The success of their association caused other jazz musicians to join Glaser and his agency known as the Associated Booking Corporation which `` was formed in 1940 by Joe Glaser and Louis Armstrong '' .   Although his clients had a high opinion of him , Glaser was a feared person in the business industry . Associated Booking Corporation or `` ABC '' as it is also known as , has at various times represented Duke Ellington , Benny Goodman , Lionel Hampton , Woody Herman , Dave Brubeck , Barbra Streisand , B.B. King , The Allman Brothers Band , T. Rex , and many others .   Joseph ` Joe ' G. Glaser died on June 6 , 1969 at Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital in New York City , New York after suffering a stroke . He was 72 .   His agency - Associated Booking Corporation - was incorporated on June 26 , 1943 and is still in existence today .   After his death in 1969 , Joe Glaser 's FBI File - CR 166-1672 - was shipped over to the H.R. Select Committee On Assassinations sometime in 1976-1979 . While the file was sent to the committee in the belief that Glaser had known Jack ` Sparky ' Rubenstein , better known as Jack Ruby , from his Chicago , Illinois days , that file revealed that Glaser was still doing some boxing promotion as late as 1966 , representing Ernie Terrell in his 1966 boxing match against the then Cassius Clay .

neg: Real estate development Real estate development , or property development , is a multifaceted business process , encompassing activities that range from the renovation and re-lease of existing buildings to the purchase of raw land and the sale of developed land or parcels to others . Real estate developers are the people and companies who coordinate all of these activities , converting ideas from paper to real property . Real estate development is different from construction , although many developers also manage the construction process .   Developers buy land , finance real estate deals , build or have builders build projects , create , imagine , control and orchestrate the process of development from the beginning to end . Developers usually take the greatest risk in the creation or renovation of real estate -- and receive the greatest rewards . Typically , developers purchase a tract of land , determine the marketing of the property , develop the building program and design , obtain the necessary public approval and financing , build the structures , and rent out , manage , and ultimately sell it .   Sometimes property developers will only undertake part of the process . For example , some developers source a property and get the plans and permits approved before selling the property with the plans and permits to a builder at a premium price . Alternatively , a developer that is also a builder may purchase a property with the plans and permits in place so that they do not have the risk of failing to obtain planning approval and can start construction on the development immediately .   Developers work with many different counterparts along each step of this process , including architects , city planners , engineers , surveyors , inspectors , contractors , lawyers , leasing agents , etc. . In the Town and Country Planning context in the United Kingdom , ` development ' is defined in the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 s55 .

neg: Estate (land) Historically an estate comprises the houses and outbuildings and supporting farmland and woods that surround the gardens and grounds of a very large property , such as a country house or mansion . It is the modern term for a manor , but lacks the latter 's now abolished jurisdictional authority . It is an `` estate '' because the profits from its produce and rents are sufficient to support the household in the house at its center , formerly known as the manor house . Thus `` the estate '' may refer to all other cottages and villages in the same ownership as the mansion itself , covering more than one former manor . Examples of such great estates are Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire , England , and Blenheim Palace , Oxfordshire built to replace the former manor house of Woodstock .   `` Estate '' , with its `` stately home '' connotations , has been a natural candidate for inflationary usage during the 20th century . An estate properly so-called should comprise several farms , and is not well used to describe a single farm .   More generally and usually in modern times , an estate is any large packet of land in single ownership : see   Council estate  Housing estate  Industrial estate
