Real Estate: Zoning/Land Use

Akerman's Illinois Land Use and Zoning practice relies on a comprehensive understanding of local zoning and land use regulations, process, and policy to advise property owners, developers, lenders and financial institutions, architects, and other real estate stakeholders in all aspects of Chicago real estate development. We have a strong track record of successfully handling some of the most complex, high-profile, transformative projects in the Chicago metropolitan area, including those that have literally shaped the Chicago skyline.

We achieve project success through sophisticated legal counsel, coupled with the right mix of experience, knowledge of the state and local regulatory regimes, and the ability to work collaboratively with government agencies. This comprehensive approach balances the interests of our clients, the community, and local and state governmental agencies.
