Ties up building place (4)
I believe the answer is:
site
'place' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'ties up' is the wordplay.
'up' indicates an anagram (letters get chucked up).
'ties' anagrammed gives 'SITE'.
'building' is the link.
(Other definitions for site that I've seen before include "Where something is located" , "Locate, position" , "Position; situation" , "Somewhere to build, perhaps" , "Building land" .)
