Object is used in real estate/development/construction:
"Spatial / geographic information systems (SIS / GIS) enable the spatial locations of objects to be connected to information about those objects. This is achieved via the use of computer based relational data base management systems and provides a powerful tool for a) depicting the location of objects via the use of maps and plans and, more importantly, for undertaking analysis."

Note from asker:
Right, it isn't a building. It's a subway extension. I guess object is fine, though it seems overly literal. I just wanted to make sure that this word is actually used in the field in this way. |
Peer comment(s):

: Why not indeed? But unless you have some evidence to the contrary, I would advise you to use "building" instead.
