Land Use
According to the New York City Department of City Planning, there are about 154,000 acres of land available for use, which means competition for developers. In order for them to take advantage of these opportunities in a time efficient and successful manner, developers must have a thorough understanding of land use laws, and excellent representation should difficulties arise. This is an area where HKP shines.
In order for a city to flourish, it must be developed to allow for growth; however, there are obstacles that must be overcome and legal procedures that must be completed in the proper manner to see these projects to completion. Our experienced legal team is prepared to handle cases large and small involving these matters.
