Bus/Financial - Real Estate / valuation report
Portuguese term or phrase: o unitário
I need some help translating a valuation report for an industrial site. They use the word *unitário* as a noun. I was wondering if this was just short for *valor/preço unitário* or if it refers to some kind of unit? Any help would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance. Here's the context:

1. DETERMINAÇÃO DO VALOR DO TERRENO
No tratamento de dados foi utilizado o tratamento por fatores, no qual admite-se, a priori, a validade da existência de relações fixas entre os atributos específicos e os respectivos preços. O **unitário** adotado foi determinado após uma ampla pesquisa junto ao mercado imobiliário.

O **unitário** observado é o resultado da divisão do valor da unidade em oferta ou transacionado e pela respectiva área. O **unitário** estimado é o valor resultante do **unitário** avaliando dividido pelos fatores de transposição de cada comparativo.

Looking at some tables it turned out that the unitário in question actually does refer to the price per sq. m. Thanks to everyone!

unit price/value


Explanation:
The result of the calculation mentioned has to be a unit price per area. ex. US$900 per square meter. The "unit" isn't specified, but no doubt the buyer will know what it is!

"o resultado da divisão do valor da unidade em oferta ou transacionado e pela respectiva área."
