Office and Industrial

Overview                                                                                                                                                                                       

Office and industrial development presents unique challenges to clients. Building size and footprint, traffic impacts, and parking needs are some of the issues that confront developers of office and industrial projects. Increasingly, state and local governments look to the developers of office and industrial projects to incorporate low-impact development design principles into their projects. Robinson+Cole lawyers are at the forefront of this important industry.
