Real Estate & Development

At YM&C, our legal experts have extensive experience in property acquisition, financing, and development for nonprofits. We offer guidance across the entire project lifecycle, from straightforward lease agreements to the complex planning of expansive ventures, including entitlements, environmental evaluations, and construction contracts. Our experience extends to leasing and developing medical facilities, health centers, and public amenities such as sports complexes and parks. Moreover, our attorneys have deep knowledge of environmental considerations affecting real estate development and land use, including the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), brownfield issues, site contamination, tribal consultations, and cost recovery. Leveraging our comprehensive understanding of municipal and real estate matters, we actively support our clients in project planning and execution and stand by them if they face legal challenges from project opponents.
