Real Estate Development Agreements

Real estate development agreements underpin the success of commercial, residential and mixed-use projects. We advise developers, landowners, funders and joint venture partners on agreements that define risk allocation, responsibilities and commercial outcomes.

Our work includes development agreements, agreements for lease, forward purchase and forward funding arrangements, conditional contracts, option agreements, overage provisions and collaboration agreements. Each agreement is tailored to the project’s commercial drivers, timeline and risk profile.

We anticipate issues around planning, construction interfaces, title, infrastructure and funding obligations, helping clients manage complex, interdependent delivery requirements.

Throughout the project lifecycle, we support clients with variations, amendments, dispute mitigation and completion matters. Our strategic, commercially informed approach ensures agreements are robust and designed to facilitate successful project delivery.
