    Real Estate

    The attorneys in the Real Estate Department guide developers, landowners, builders and lenders through the intricate regulations, requirements and policies governing the approvals and permitting process at the state, county and municipal levels. We have experience in every phase of acquisitions, financing, development, redevelopment, planned development and leasing.

    Our attorneys work diligently on behalf of our clients on all land-related matters, including land and building acquisition and sale, redevelopment, and negotiations of purchase and sale agreements for commercial, industrial and mixed use developments and residential property, acquisition, construction and mortgage financing, land title and land ownership issues, preparation of offering plans and governing documents for planned real estate developments, as well as applications and development programs with the Council on Affordable Housing (COAH). We also have broad experience in renewable energy projects.

    The firm also has a sophisticated and experienced leasing team that is alert to the nuances of leasing documents. Our attorneys prepare and negotiate leases on behalf of both landlords and tenants including complex and general land leases, office center leases, shopping center and retail leases, along with single purpose leases, government agency leases and leases for mixed use projects.

    Our attorneys are members and involved in the New Jersey State Bar Association Land Use and Environmental Law Sections. They are also members of the Monmouth County Bar Association, the New York State Bar Association, the American Bar Association, the New Jersey Builders Association and the Shore Builders Association of Central New Jersey. Our attorneys serve on the redevelopment and mixed use committees of the New Jersey Builders. They have been recognized by Best Lawyers in America, Chambers USA, and New Jersey Super Lawyers.
