Real Estate: Zoning/Land Use

From advising on the acquisition and sale of property to getting complex development projects off the ground, our Real Estate and Land Use Group provides clients with key counsel on nearly every facet of real property. Our award-winning team has extensive experience in leasing, land use and development, financing, workouts and restructuring, tax abatements, real property tax appeals, and condemnation/eminent domain law. With one of the largest and most accomplished real estate practices in New Jersey, we have represented developers in connection with subdivision, site plan, and related permits and approvals for projects of nearly every size and character, including some of the most prominent development projects in the region.

A full-service practice, Connell Foley’s real estate team handles matters related to zoning, federal, state, and local permitting, and all manner of real estate regulatory requirements. We also navigate regulatory issues for projects governed by environmental statutes, and we offer counsel in regard to governmental “takings” of real property in the context of inverse condemnation, having successfully litigated landmark cases in this area on behalf of property owners adversely impacted by government regulation. In addition, our attorneys counsel landlords and tenants in lease-up of mixed-use, multi-tenanted, stand-alone, and build-to-suit projects and owners and lenders in connection with the acquisition and financing of complex real estate projects.
