Development and Construction

Mintz Levin's real estate attorneys combine professional skills, practical judgment, and political acumen to advance our clients' real estate interests. One of our key strengths is the ability to analyze, structure, and coordinate projects involving significant complexity. We provide advice on land acquisitions and dispositions, cross-easements and other discrete realty interests, regulatory compliance and permitting, construction phasing, financing, and the utilization, leasing, and management of the development. In undertaking such projects, our real estate attorneys assist clients in structuring and negotiating property acquisitions; obtaining zoning planning, subdivision, environmental, and other land use approvals for both new construction and rehabilitation of existing facilities; drafting and negotiating architectural design and construction contracts; securing and negotiating construction and permanent debt financing and refinancing; structuring equity participations and syndications; leasing residential, industrial, office, and retail properties; and the ultimate disposition of completed projects.
