Real Estate Development

Bond has a long history of representing a wide variety of developers and owners including: private and Fortune 500 companies; colleges, universities and school districts; financial, health care and insurance institutions; and municipalities in all aspects of real estate development.

We have represented developers in assembling and exchanging parcels of land, including exchanges under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as well as negotiating construction and permanent loan commitments; option agreements for the purchase or sale of property; contracts for purchase and sale; and easements. We have also represented owners and developers in obtaining tax-exempt and taxable financing through industrial development agencies and have extensive experience in preparing and negotiating payment in lieu of taxes agreements.

We have appeared before many municipal boards to obtain changes of zone, subdivision approvals, special permits and site plan approvals for commercial and industrial facilities, hotels, mining companies, office buildings, restaurants, shopping centers, transmission tower sites and warehouses. We are qualified to act as examining counsel for title insurance companies and have extensive experience in examining title certificates, abstracts of title and in addressing issues of title and title insurance coverage.
