How it's used
Refers to both physical real estate assets and broader economic sectors. When talking about real estate, it often implies significant wealth or commercial holdings rather than just a simple residential flat. In business contexts, it is a formal term used to describe a specific field of production or commercial activity.
Examples
He has many properties under his name.
This industry is developing very fast.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 物業, which specifically refers to real estate or buildings. While 產業 can mean property, it is more abstract or collective, whereas 物業 is the standard term for houses, apartments, or commercial units.
