PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
The firm is often involved with significant redevelopment projects that include residential housing and commercial components. Because of our expertise in the entire real estate spectrum, we frequently have several working groups involved in these projects, and we bring in leaders for each discipline required. One such recent project was the redevelopment of the Lodging parcel at the former Fort Monmouth Army Base, with residential, affordable, rental units in historically protected structures and new, for-sale, market-rate residential townhomes. The project required expertise in environmental issues, redevelopment, land use, common property rights and condominium law, and ended up as a joint venture between two industry leaders.
