Bus/Financial - Real Estate / property sales
Italian term or phrase: prenotazioni di vendita, su progetto
with regard to a property development:

L'iniziativa è stata avviata e l'azienda ha già avuto prenotazioni di vendita, su progetto, per complessivi euro ......

Does this mean that the company has confirmed advanced sales of properties that have not yet been built?

I am not sure of how to express this in English!
