Get Primary taxonomy | WordPress.org

I’m trying to retrieve ONLY the primary term for a custom taxonomy.

There is a primary ‘building_type’ selected, and I’d like to get ONLY the primary one, instead of all the terms checked. Here’s the code I used to get ALL the terms (which works).
$termsP = the_terms( get_the_ID(), array( //'building_type', 'lease_phase', 'topic', 'building_stakeholder') );

And here’s what I’m using to try and get the primary building_type:

$post_id = get_the_ID();											

$primaryTerms = the_seo_framework()->get_custom_field( '_primary_term_' . 'building_type', $post_id ); 

I’ve also tried this which also doesn’t work:

	
$taxonomy = 'building_type'; 													

$post_id = get_the_ID();													

$terms = wp_get_post_terms($post_id, $taxonomy, ['fields' => 'all']);													

$primary_term = intval(get_post_meta( $post_id, '_primary_term_' . $taxonomy, true ));													

foreach($terms as $term) {													   

if( $primary_term == $term->term_id ) {													        // this is a primary category														   }													}													

return $primary_term;

Any help is greatly appreciated.
