WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE BIGGEST GROWTH AREA FOR
YOUR BUSINESS?
Redevelopment continues to be a strong driver in New Jersey’s real estate market, and we do not expect that to end anytime soon. With our combined strengths in real estate, land use and environmental law, we will continue
to be the go-to law firm for redevelopment projects in
the state. As millennials have an increasing impact on
this market, the popularity of live/work/play and transit- oriented development will remain hot, and we likewise expect to guide many of those projects. In addition, the influence of the cannabis industry on New Jersey real estate is only just beginning to be felt. Connell Foley’s Cannabis Law Group is guided by real estate attorneys
who know the industry and regulatory issues, and who
can help create opportunities for businesses and property owners across the state. Lastly, major infrastructure upgrades, specifically with regard to public utilities and transportation, are crucial to New Jersey’s economy. Connell Foley’s real estate practice is poised to help ensure New Jersey has the infrastructure it needs to make the state a destination of choice for businesses and individuals alike.
