The development of real property in New Jersey has increasingly become more difficult. With fewer raw land sites available, redevelopment is often the only option. Yet redevelopment sites are frequently contaminated and/or burdened with legal encumbrances imposed over the years. In addition, developers of housing, whether for sale or rental, must contend with ever changing COAH requirements. Clearly, in today’s climate the development process involves far more than a trip to a land use board.
Whether the matter is complex or simple our attorneys can handle all aspects of the land use process. Moreover, the firm’s attorneys can add value to the process by making optimal use of statutes that permit payments in lieu of real estate taxes. Developers who have not successfully navigated the land use process can benefit from the firm’s considerable experience successfully appealing land use denials. We have successfully pursued such appeals in the state courts, and increasingly in the federal courts, where the firm has been a leader in fashioning novel remedies.
Our services include the following:
Our attorneys have represented clients in nearly every county in the state on a wide range of property types, including residential, commercial, industrial and institutional projects. Just a few of the more notable matters include the following:
In addition to the uses mentioned above, the firm has been involved in shopping centers, houses of worship, parking facilities, trailer parks, hotels and restaurants, just to name a few.
