# Create Project

> Create a new project linked to an existing location

# POST /projects

Creates a new project in the workspace. Every project must be linked to an existing location record.

## Notes

* Requires workspace write access.
* At least one of `locationId` (workspace-scoped index) or `globalLocationId` (Snowflake ID) must be provided to associate the project with a location.
* The `status` field defaults to `"prospecting"` if not specified. Valid values: `prospecting`, `development`, `financing`, `construction`, `operating`, `archived`.
* Optional fields include `timezoneOverride` (UTC offset in hours, e.g. `-5.0`), `boundaryGeometry` (GeoJSON Polygon), and `projectDetails` (arbitrary metadata dict).
* The referenced location must already exist in the workspace. Create one via `POST /locations` first if needed.
* Returns the full project resource on success.
