Real Estate Development
Whether you are a Fortune 100 company pursuing international expansion or a nonprofit, investor or developer shaping projects in your local community, McGuireWoods and our public affairs subsidiary McGuireWoods Consulting offer comprehensive, forward-looking guidance across the real estate development life cycle. As the real estate landscape brings increasing complexity in regulatory oversight, environmental and community responsibility standards, infrastructure funding and economic incentives, our multidisciplinary team helps clients navigate every stage — from site selection and entitlement strategies to government relations, permitting and environmental compliance.
Our lawyers are well positioned, add efficiency and achieve results in connection with real estate development and redevelopment projects, and can help anticipate and navigate myriad intersecting local, state and federal regulations throughout the country. They regularly help clients create value through repositioning existing development and/or reclaiming and redeveloping strategic properties that may have previously been considered too challenging for any number of environmental or regulatory reasons.
We advise on all aspects of development, including acquisition, disposition, leasing, construction, project finance, public-private partnerships and incentive negotiations. Our experience with privatization efforts and infrastructure modernization initiatives ensures clients are equipped to capitalize on current market opportunities and overcome evolving challenges — delivering successful outcomes from concept through closing and beyond.
Our lawyers assist clients developing complex urban sites and large-scale mixed use, industrial and infrastructure properties – resolving even longstanding environmental or regulatory challenges by leveraging our legal knowledge and relationships with regulators and decision makers in attractive real estate markets.
