Isn’t the implication of the sentence that they were chosen specifically for those properties and wouldn’t have been chosen otherwise?

  The implication is that they were chosen because of that, but not that this was the only qualification. It could easily be that multiple teams looked qualified during bidding for the job and that this was the distinguishing factor.

      > No other qualification was mentioned. That's because "ability to do the project" is a given. It is always a requirement, outside of specific corruption scenarios.

          Yes, as long as nobody's being paid off by Big Gay.
