We are here to support your next real estate project

We are a dynamic firm providing creative legal strategies; engaging community planning practices; and transformative redevelopment consulting to real estate development visionaries, conscious real estate investment funds, and socially-responsible commercial real estate companies raising private capital and public finance to fund major real estate acquisition and redevelopment projects. We do this by leveraging strategic approaches to the law in order to enhance access to both capital and real estate development opportunities for our clients, especially those spearheading transformative projects rooted in community capital, cooperative governance, resident-control, equity, and sustainability.
