Real Estate Development

Foster Swift's experienced real estate development attorneys can help clients take their proposed developments from land acquisition to end financing, or assist with any stage of the development process in between. Our team approach puts the best attorney for the job at hand available to the clients for each phase of their development project.

Our lawyers can assist clients with development, acquisition and assemblage of parcels, zoning and land use, engineering and architectural contracts, construction and utility contracts, the environmental issues including flood plain, wetland and brown field concerns, easements and restriction. Our experience representing townships in development matters in litigation allows us to provide developers with knowledgeable advice needed to get projects approved. We have been lenders counsel and borrowers counsel in many land development deals, so we know how to bring both sides to common ground for a successful loan transaction. Mezzanine financing, bankruptcy remote entities, construction lending and assistance with end financing transactions are all within the capabilities of our experienced attorneys.
