    Brownfields Redevelopment

    We identify viable site and partnering opportunities, working with government authorities to maximize available tax credits, grants and other incentives to add value to our clients’ projects. We also help our clients navigate a complex and multi-stakeholder process practically and efficiently to achieve their redevelopment objectives.

    Overview

    We have successfully completed redevelopment projects on land previously considered too polluted for profitable use—helping to secure some of the first brownfield tax credits ever awarded. With experience in both real estate and environmental industries, our team is fully equipped to help private developers and public entity clients achieve their development goals and avoid any potential pitfalls.

    In Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA)/site remediation, we have been the lead project firm for over 100 client-owned, multi-party state or federal hazardous waste, brownfields, voluntary cleanup or Superfund sites in several dozen states and countries. We work with clients on all aspects of the transaction—from pre-acquisition due diligence and land use planning to environmental quality review, remediation, and wetland disturbance.

    With our strategic partnership, we can help you turn what was once considered a serious potential liability into a lucrative investment opportunity.
