REAL ESTATE, URBAN DEVELOPMENT AND LAND USE
Our firm advice clients engaged in the construction of real estate developments in Mexico, as well as associations of developers with portfolios and investments in housing, residential, commercial, and services projects, among others.
Estrategia Total not only advises, designs and implements legal and regulatory strategies to mitigate risks related to our clients’ projects, but also provides them with 360° advice to alert them about the political context that permeates the regions, zones and locations where these projects are intended to be executed. This vision allows them to develop preventive strategies to anticipate adverse scenarios that could impact their construction schedules and schemes (e.g., neighborhood disputes; attention to observations derived from neighborhood bids, among others).
Our services include:
- Legal, preventive and corrective due diligence on real estate developments (housing, industrial, commercial, services, lodging, among others) to verify their compliance with applicable legal and regulatory issues, among them, having the corresponding federal, local and municipal licenses, permits and/or authorizations.
- Drafting and negotiation of agreements related to construction, leasing, use and occupancy, purchase and sale of real estate assets.
- Preventive and strategic advice related to regulations and technical standards applicable to the construction of real estate developments, including urban development, land use and land use regulations.
- Due diligence related to land tenancy and, if applicable, advice and support for the expropriation of land subject to the ejido regime, to convert it to private property with purposes of facilitating its transfer to third parties.
- Advice and support during the various stages of construction to mitigate risks caused by third parties (neighbors, neighborhood committees, towns and neighborhoods) as a result of a possible lack of communication, coordination and attention to concerns.
- Monitoring and preventive follow-up to detect changes or possible changes in legislation and/or regulations applicable to the construction industry or that could impact real estate developments.
