Development

A cooperative approach aimed at completing your project

Our Development Group is a committed partner in all facets of your real estate development project. We work with clients throughout the entire process, handling matters of due diligence, land use, entitlements, environmental concerns and financing. We help clients sort out their objectives and secure contracts for their deals. We resolve title issues, mineral issues and utility service access.

Our experienced attorneys understand the complicated entitlement process and wield the requisite skills to ensure that clients are buying properties with the assumed rights intact. If litigation or government relations become necessary, we can team with the firm’s robust resources in those areas. We also assist development clients with a range of financing, including mezzanine debt structures, equity investments and permanent financing options. Lastly, if clients decide to sell a property, our team can help position the property for sale, do any cleanup of title issues, ensure that leases are on solid legal footing and help clear up any problems with tenants.

The Brownstein Advantage

Breadth and depth of practice. The large and diverse Brownstein Real Estate Group provides all the support the Development Group could ever need. We have substantive experience dealing with everything from environmental remediation to leasing to complex debt structures. We gauge market forces to better negotiate on your behalf. The sheer size of our practice helps us tackle even the largest projects in an efficient, timely manner.

Up-to-date market awareness. In development work, you have to know the terms the different parties are willing to negotiate. Because of our constant involvement in this area, we are in tune with market forces and can assess reasonable expectations during the negotiation process. All this awareness helps us finish your project with fewer speed bumps and less expense.

Pre-established credibility in the field. We are extremely well established in the development and general real estate fields. Our reputation precedes us in negotiations, and we add instant credibility to your project. If you want to be taken seriously from day one, hiring us is a good way to start.

Collaboration with other firm resources. We regularly team with other areas of the firm’s full-featured Real Estate Practice, including teams from the Acquisition Disposition and Finance groups. When litigation becomes necessary we have ample resources from the firm’s powerful Litigation Group.
