Land Use and Zoning

Making the Most of Your Real Estate Property

The attorneys in the Land Use Group of Wachtel, Masyr & Missry advise clients with respect to land use regulations in New York City including representation before the City Planning Commission, the Landmarks Preservation Commission and the Board of Standards and Appeals. Our clients include the most active real estate developers in the City.

We have a thorough knowledge of City real estate and zoning policies and practices.

The Wachtel, Masyr & Missry Land Use Group includes attorneys and urban planners, all with significant experience working in the public and private sectors. That in-depth knowledge helps our clients make decisions about real estate investment and development.

We guide our clients through New York City's complex development approval processes.

Our land use and zoning lawyers advise clients on the range of permissible development on a given property. Where the applicable regulations do permit projects to proceed as a matter of right, we provide guidance with respect to discretionary land use approvals that may be obtainable. We also have the expertise to provide our clients with advice regarding air rights transfers, tax abatements and other economic development incentives.

Large real estate development projects often require extensive environmental review and regular contact with City and other public agencies. Wachtel, Masyr & Missry coordinates the necessary consultants to facilitate the development process to assist your business in obtaining the final approvals. Development projects also require significant community outreach. Our Land Use Group, all of whom are registered New York City lobbyists, have extensive experience with community and public relations and coordinate all such outreach.

Our objective is your success in real estate development.

We know well New York City and its real estate market. We understand the concerns and goals of obtaining discretionary land use approvals from regulatory boards. If you have zoning questions or concerns, we welcome your call.
