In the best of times, developing construction projects in urban areas presents challenges, from tight construction schedules to the need to secure complex financing. Here in Puerto Rico, these challenges have been compounded by the economic climate and limited financial institution alternatives, in turn limiting the financial resources available for new and existing construction projects and escalating real estate development disputes.
On the other hand, an influx in federal funds granted through the Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery, focusing on infrastructure and housing projects, will generate a number of new opportunities for investment and development. With these investments and projects will also come new challenges, opportunities, and complexities that all stakeholders, from the government to private investors will need to navigate.
This is why it is crucial to have an experienced legal team that not only knows the law but can navigate through these complex issues to get the project done. Our experienced Construction Practice team assists our clients from the initial conception of the project, throughout planning and development until final completion. Our clients reap the benefits from our firm-wide experience in construction-related disputes, zoning and land use, all aspects of real estate development and real property workouts.
