Land Use and Real Estate Development

Greater Danbury Commercial Property Development Lawyers

At Collins, Hannafin, our land use and zoning attorneys have decades of experience with advising residential and commercial property developers, home and business owners, and local town and city governments about issues ranging from building permits to inland wetlands preservation. From large national development firms to small local first time developers, we provide the answers and guidance required to make your project a success. If your next development project or permit application could benefit from practical legal advice based on a solid understanding of the local conditions and considerations, contact us at our offices in Danbury or Ridgefield.

We represent applicants and planning boards at all stages of a project application from the initial project proposal, through the local review and hearing stages, to appeals in district court. Our advice from the very beginning of your project can help you avoid mistakes, overcome anticipated objections, and save time and money in the long run.

Our experience with the approval process for commercial development projects involving new housing units, office space, retail space, or industrial use can help expedite favorable local action on your site plan, building permit application, or any requests for special exceptions or variances. We also know how to negotiate specific characteristics of your proposal so as to minimize administrative or community opposition that could otherwise delay or frustrate progress on your application.

While much of our land use and zoning practice is undertaken on behalf of commercial real estate development clients, we also represent businesses large and small and homeowners in matters ranging from building permits for additions to approval for nonconforming uses. Our knowledge of the differing practices and procedures used by local zoning and planning boards throughout Connecticut can represent a very substantial advantage for any applicant.

For specific information about our ability to help your new construction, rehab, or condo conversion project achieve the necessary approvals, contact an experienced land use and zoning attorney at the Collins, Hannafin law firm.

Our land use and development attorneys include Thomas W. Beecher, Gregg A. Brauneisen, Francis J. Collins, Bryan V. Doto, Edward J. Hannafin, Paul N. Jaber and Christopher K. Leonard.
