Brownfields to Greenfields

The firm has advised real estate developers, corporations and municipalities on complex real estate projects of varied size and purposes (commercial and mixed use developments) in locations across the United States, including efforts to transform contaminated lands into newly productive sites. Utilizing our knowledge of remediation, we have assisted clients with the many challenges involved in creating high-density, mixed use developments on former industrial sites. We guide purchasers through acquiring contaminated industrial sites, negotiating reductions in liability exposure for past property contaminations, and securing permits and other required clearances for redevelopment. DPSS attorneys also represent parties on the other side of the negotiation table, guiding sellers in negotiating sales of regulated parcels.
