Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Fracção de um edifício
Portuguese term or phrase: Fracção
Através da propriedade horizontal, um edifício fica dividido em diversas partes (fracções), de que são exemplos os apartamentos, as garagens ou as lojas.

Não sei se em Inglês se utiliza este tipo de divisão, mas "fraction" não me parece que fique bem.
