This CLE course will outline best practices for overcoming the current legal challenges facing developers, builders, and the mixed-use development team when undertaking mixed-use projects. The panel will provide valuable insights on how to capitalize on the opportunities of mixed-use development.

Description

Mixed-use development projects continue to be a trend in the real estate industry. Because the projects combine both commercial and residential development and construction, these deals face intricate design and building obstacles, as well as zoning, financing, public relations, and governance challenges.

Counsel can assist builders and developers in planning successful mixed-use developments while addressing land use and zoning issues and navigating financing options. By focusing on best practices, counsel can effectively address community issues and balance the wide variety of user needs and interests.

Listen as our panel of real estate attorneys discusses the principal legal challenges facing developers, builders, and the mixed-use development team when undertaking mixed-use projects. The panel will provide insights gained from recent deals on how to overcome the legal hurdles to best benefit from the opportunities mixed-use development can provide.
