Development Services

---

At Bajaria & Forgerson, we understand that a successful real estate project begins with a solid foundation. Our team of experienced Zoning & Land Use professionals function as a key component of our Firm’s recognized Real Estate practice, helping steer developers, investors and property owners around potential obstacles and through the often-complex maze of zoning requirements in North Texas cities.

Our team has built a strong rapport with elected officials, governmental agencies, civic groups and neighborhood associations. These relationships are built on the credibility we earned through our work and involvement on major multifamily and mix-used development projects.

Many of our clients' real estate endeavors require us to manage projects and provide legal services as related to the turn-key development of real estate projects. Through this experience, we understand how local ordinances intersect with state and federal laws, from subdivision requirements to environmental permitting, and we use our knowledge to obtain all necessary permits and approvals for a project. Our work does not end with obtaining needed approvals.

We serve as effective local counsel for key players in the private sector for commercial, mixed-use, residential and hospitality and restaurant developers. We provide the following services

By coordinating with the Firm, we are positioned to represent you through any stage of a real property matter. This often includes conducting due diligence for acquisitions and financing; managing construction contracts and construction-related disputes; addressing local, state and federal taxes, including tax credits of all forms and researching existing zoning and deed restrictions. At the end of the day, we tap our full-service team, as needed, to keep our client’s projects on budget and on schedule.
