Real Estate Development
Real estate development in New York presents tremendous opportunities, but it also entails significant legal and regulatory challenges. From acquiring land to securing financing, managing construction, and bringing projects to market, every stage of development requires careful planning and experienced legal counsel. We partner with developers, investors, and property owners to guide projects from concept to completion.

SITE ACQUISITION & DUE DILIGENCE
Every project begins with the right property. Site acquisition requires more than negotiating a contract — it demands a thorough understanding of title, zoning, and environmental issues that can impact the project’s future.
ZONING, LAND USE & PERMITTING
Zoning and land use laws dictate what can be built, how it can be used, and whether a project will move forward on schedule. Navigating boards, agencies, and local codes is essential to development.
FINANCING & STRUCTURING
No development moves forward without the right financial foundation. Structuring deals properly ensures capital is protected and profits are maximized.
CONSTRUCTION & DEVELOPMENT CONTRACTS
Construction contracts define rights, responsibilities, and risks. Poorly drafted agreements can lead to costly delays and disputes.
LEASING & DISPOSITION
The success of a project often depends on what happens after construction. Whether leasing space or selling, a proper legal strategy maximizes return.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION & LITIGATION
Even well-structured projects face challenges. From construction claims to partnership disputes, legal conflicts can derail development if not managed effectively.
