Condominiums & Cooperatives

Our Real Estate Group assists clients in the regulatory compliance process required for the registration, sale and operation of condominiums, cooperatives and other planned developments.  Our practice includes residential, office, retail and industrial developments, from newly constructed projects to the conversion of existing properties to condominium ownership, mixed–use developments and cooperatives.
