Real Estate & Development Law

Guiding clients through complex commercial transactions, land use, and municipal approvals for major projects.

Transactional Excellence & Risk Mitigation

The **Calvin & Calvin** Real Estate team provides comprehensive counsel to developers, investors, property owners, and corporate tenants. We specialize in handling high-value commercial property matters, from the initial acquisition agreement through complex financing and final disposition.

Our approach is centered on meticulous due diligence to identify and mitigate environmental, zoning, and title risks before they derail a transaction or development timeline.

Key Real Estate Services:

  • **Commercial Transactions:** Purchases, sales, 1031 exchanges, and complex joint ventures.
  • **Land Use & Zoning:** Variances, conditional use permits, and municipal appeals.
  • **Development:** Entitlements, permitting, construction contracts, and environmental compliance (NEPA/SEQRA).
  • **Leasing:** Drafting and negotiation of complex commercial leases (retail, office, industrial).

Recent Successes in Land Use

We recently secured full zoning approval for a \$50 million mixed-use industrial park after successfully appealing a preliminary denial based on outdated flood zone classifications.
