Land Use and Zoning

At Walsh Markus McDougal & DeBellis LLP, real estate group also provides comprehensive legal representation in other aspects of real estate law, such as land use, planning, and zoning. We represent sellers and purchasers regarding the acquisition and sale of industrial, commercial, retail, multi-family, residential and office properties. The Firm represents clients in the acquisition, construction and mortgage financing phases. We regularly represent and advise owners, developers, contractors, businesses, and institutions and other interested parties regarding land use issues, obtaining zoning approvals, processing site plans and subdivision applications, and the intricacies of environmental regulations such as SEQRA (State Environmental Quality Review Act).

We assist owners and developers in drafting and negotiating construction contracts and related issues. The Firm routinely represents commercial and residential property owners and tenants in connection with the traditional and complex lease transactions, and landlord/tenant litigation.

Another growth area in which the Firm’s attorneys have developed significant expertise is the creation and development of privately sponsored, government financed housing projects in communities throughout Long Island.
