LAND DEVELOPMENT

Repositioning a real estate asset is one of the most compelling ways to create value. As a core competency of Sares Regis, land entitlement has allowed us to work collaboratively with cities and other regulatory agencies to change zoning, increase densities, broker development agreements and other necessary approvals to reach our clients’ real estate and financial goals.

Based on our proficiency in executing approved plans, Sares Regis has earned a reputation of trust with our clients, city governments, and other agencies. No matter how complex a project’s entitlement path, Sares Regis is prepared with practical and in-depth knowledge. For example: CEQA, the Clean Water Act, Federal and California Endangered Species Acts and other pertinent real estate issues.
