Real estate development is a core strength of Arent Fox. But don’t just take our word for it: our Washington DC Real Estate practice is ranked Tier 1 by Chambers USA and by US News and World Report.

Our attorneys guide clients through the acquisition, financing, design, construction, operation, and ultimate disposition of hospital, hotel, infrastructure, mixed use, industrial warehousing, multifamily, nonprofit, office, restaurant, senior living, and sports projects. We combine experience, skill, and business judgment in providing advice to developers, investors, lenders, property managers, architects, contractors, and other parties in the development of real estate in the United States and internationally.

Whether the property is already owned or needs to be acquired, whether the financing needs are public or private (or a combination thereof), whether the property is unimproved or already contains an operating business, whether the existing improvements will be retained or demolished, whether the property is zoning compliant or land use approvals are required, our real estate development team has the extensive knowledge and experience to bring the deal to a successful conclusion for our clients.

We pride ourselves in staffing matters leanly to maximize efficiency—there are no more lawyers working on any given transaction than necessary to get the job done right.
