Land Use Permitting

Mirick O’Connell’s transactional real estate practice encompasses all real estate sectors and includes the representation of individuals, businesses, institutions and public entities in the acquisition, financing, disposition and management of real estate assets.  We also represent landlords and tenants in the negotiation and drafting of leases and subleases for office, retail, industrial, biomedical and R&D space.

Our attorneys assist clients in the planning and permitting of real estate projects from single-family homes to manufacturing facilities.  We understand the political framework in which all real estate development projects exist and have the experience, contacts and judgment required to shepherd a project to fruition and profitability.  We also have extensive experience with the redevelopment of former manufacturing properties and the conversion of existing structures into residential and commercial condominiums.

Today, every real estate development project is subject to some degree of environmental scrutiny.  We have the expertise to navigate the world of overlapping and multi-jurisdictional environmental permitting requirements.  Once a project has been permitted, we also have the skills and knowledge to draft and negotiate the construction documents needed to complete the project in a cost-effective and timely manner.  Our construction experience includes green building design and renewable energy projects.
