DescriptionIn the City of New York, development rights can be sold and moved –even the air above a property is subject to transfer and sale. But how do the skyscrapers get so tall? The answer often involves the as-of-right transfer of development rights between two adjacent properties sharing a lot line. Such transactions are mapped out and executed with precision requiring substantial due diligence and no small amount of documentation. This CLE course by a top New York City land use lawyer will familiarize attorneys with the language of zoning and development rights transfers, the steps necessary to determine if transfers have occurred and all the documentation required to implement transfers. Lecturer BioPaul J. Proulx, Esq.Paul J. Proulx focuses on land use, zoning and development matters as well as general real estate transactions. Mr. Proulx represents clients before New York City agencies, such as the Board of Standards and Appeals, City Planning Commission, Economic Development Corporation, Department of Housing Preservation and Development, Landmarks Preservation Commission, Office of the Mayor and New York City Council. Mr. Proulx has extensive experience drafting and prosecuting land use applications and the restrictive declarations that accompany them.
