Nixon Peabody’s national Permitting & Land Use team is at the forefront of land use law in the top markets across the country. We represent developers, large landowners/users, and investors nationwide in the development of complex commercial real estate. From the early stages of land acquisition to post-construction focus on leasing, operations, or a potential exit, each stage of a real estate development project demands strategic foresight, deep understanding of market and regulatory realities, diligence, planning, and strategic negotiations to ensure maximum returns on investments. Nixon’s attorneys play a vital role in each client’s team of real estate advisors from site selection to disposition, offering practical real estate and business strategies based on our extensive knowledge of real estate transactions, development, and construction.
Our work begins at site selection, and concludes at our client’s exit from an asset, including permitting and diligence from local jurisdictions through state and federal approvals. We also focus on complex disposition processes from government entities and private parties alike, and other development-specific agreements including reciprocal easement agreements, condominium and co-op creation, long-term ground leases, and finance-related parcelization. We have a deep bench of lawyers working across industries to represent all aspects of our clients’ interests, including public and project finance, taxation, tax credits, environmental and energy regulatory matters, and government relations. We leverage all forms of government subsidy to help our clients save costs while reaching successful resolutions.
Our team includes experienced practitioners in land use law from Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, New York, Illinois, and California.
