Redevelopment, Land Use & Zoning

Greenbaum’s redevelopment, land use and zoning practice is a cornerstone of our commitment to building the future of New Jersey. We focus on all aspects of traditional development, redevelopment, land use and zoning in the state, bringing to bear our extensive experience in navigating the political and economic issues that impact the state’s development process. The firm’s historic role in New Jersey’s redevelopment sector goes back decades and continues with our ongoing participation in several of New Jersey’s most innovative and high visibility redevelopment projects that are currently underway.

The firm’s redevelopment team possesses a comprehensive understanding of New Jersey’s legislative and regulatory structure as it relates to supporting and incentivizing development and economic growth while concurrently protecting and conserving open space and the state’s unique natural resource profile. A long history of representing private and public entities, including developers, property owners, investors, and municipalities, facilitates a balanced and sophisticated perspective regarding critical issues on both sides of the process.

Our deep understanding of the New Jersey Municipal Land Use Law (MLUL), the Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (LRHL), and the unique dynamics of local boards and governing bodies allow us to efficiently guide complex projects from concept to completion. From the start, we work closely with a client's project team, including engineers, architects, planners, and environmental and financial consultants.

We deliver effective, strategic, and hands-on continuity of representation throughout the development process, and in projects of all sizes and levels of complexity throughout the state, including residential, industrial, retail, office and mixed-use development. Our experience as redevelopment counsel includes the representation of municipal governments and private entities before state, county and local boards, agencies and commissions. Our team is proud of its demonstrated track record of success in guiding clients through the approval, financing and building of projects in New Jersey, providing support and guidance from project inception to ribbon-cutting ceremony, and beyond.
