Waterfront and Real Estate Development Lawyer

Any development, improvement, redevelopment, or construction along the waterfront gives rise to specific challenges related to the environment, as well as state and federal regulations and statutes. These issues are complex and require the legal guidance of an attorney who is familiar with these regulations and committed to maintaining a current understanding of the sometimes conflicting and complicated laws related to all areas of commercial real estate development.

Cipoletta, we help residential and commercial investors and developers along the North Shore and throughout the greater Boston area to navigate the legal process and ensure compliance as they pursue their development projects. Contact us today to discuss your commercial real estate development goals with a thorough, knowledgeable Massachusetts attorney.

If you are interested in purchasing waterfront property in order to create a development in that area, our law firm offers knowledgeable advice and thoughtful legal counsel on environmental issues and represents clients throughout the process of acquiring a waterfront access easement.

We can help you draft a plan for a mixed-use development for residential, restaurant, business and commercial area, and perhaps, an ancillary marina. A specific process must be navigated in order to achieve your development objectives.

Generally, any project of substantial size requires numerous permits to be issued by different boards and commissions, including special permits or variances, planning board review, a site plan review, and an order of conditions from the conservation commission. Environmental impact statements and notices of intent are also required in order to pursue most waterfront or other commercial real estate development project. We will help you obtain necessary permitting through the city council, board of appeals, planning board, the conservation commission, the state department of environmental protection, the MEPA process, and any other state or federal agencies that may have a specific interest in the project, including the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
