The Gibbons Real Property Group is distinguished by the close collaboration of highly regarded transactional and development attorneys.
Gibbons has led development projects in almost 450 municipalities in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut, handling zoning, planning, and permitting matters for commercial, office, retail, and industrial uses. We typically join a project at the zoning analysis stage, to determine feasibility and establish a regulatory framework, and often navigate the project through plan development, filing, and application review and approval. Our attorneys regularly handle land use litigation and appear before environmental agencies, county planning boards, and municipal construction departments.
Our transactional real estate team represents lenders, sellers, buyers, developers, and financers of office buildings, industrial facilities, resort properties, hotels, shopping centers, multifamily residences, and land, and handles condominium developments and conversions. We conduct due diligence investigations in connection with property acquisitions, handle a wide range of leases and real estate financing transactions, represent lenders, borrowers, and purchasers in real estate workouts and distressed assets, and regularly structure real estate joint ventures.
Gibbons is also a leader in redevelopment projects and has developed a particular niche in major public and private infrastructure development projects with huge regional significance.
