Neil Ashby
: "rehabilitación de edificio" sounds like renovation of existing buildings rather than development of new ones. I guess more context will confirm this.

area for intervention / renovation/refurbishment
Without more context (a few sentences before and after the one with the term, for example) any of these options could work.
"intervention" (or even "improvement") for more general works.
"renovation/refurbishment" if indeed it specifically refers to renovation works.

"area for restoration" is another possibility if the building is quite old/dilapidated.
"intervention" (or even "improvement") for more general works.
"renovation/refurbishment" if indeed it specifically refers to renovation works.

: Intervention is much used in archtecture, added to which as only a ground floor is involved, development does not quite fit.
