Our Philosophy
We have an Owner’s Mindset. Rest easy knowing that you have professional representation at Public Hearings and Architectural Review Boards. We also assist with Public outreach. Door knocking, Support Signatures, Neighborhood Council Meetings, Homeowner Associations. We have been through it all.
Ready to issue
No matter the type of permit needed we can help. Tenant Improvements, Core & Shell, Grading, Drainage, New Construction, Additions and Change of Use.
Entitlements
Whether you need a Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, Variance, Zone Change, or Liquor License, we can help.
Site Investigation
SIR ( Site Investigation Reports), Zoning Reports, Permit Record Research, and Discussion with top level City Officials.
Knowledge is power
It is all in the details. We scour the archives, read the small print, and dive into trenches so when the time comes for you to sign a lease, close on a purchase, or plan a new store roll-out, all of the potential pitfalls will have been discovered.
