Redevelopment is a function of community planning often used to reinvigorate so-called blighted residential and commercial areas. Given the currently broad definition of the term "blight," which includes "smart growth" areas, existing and potential redevelopment impacts virtually every municipality in New Jersey.

Redevelopment has become a critical if not overriding component of residential development opportunities in New Jersey. Communities and their residents often benefit from redevelopment through improved services, investments and tax revenue. Much like more traditional development schemes, the tremendous opportunity for homebuilders existing in redevelopment can also be fraught with risk if planning and legal issues are not adequately addressed in accordance with the rapidly changing body of law. Indeed, proposed, competing and vigorously debated legislation is likely to be adopted in the near future and, if adopted, change the redevelopment landscape. Staying ahead of the curve is critical to the success of redevelopers.

New Jersey Redevelopment attorney Vincent Mangini regularly counsels and advises both small and large builders on the intricacies of planning, receiving approval for and executing redevelopment projects in New Jersey.  Mr. Mangini is a frequent speaker on the topic of redevelopment for organizations, such as the New Jersey Builders Association and The New Jersey Redevelopment Authority.

Mr. Mangini also publishes a free newsletter focused on New Jersey Redevelopment projects.  Redevelop New Jersey provides readers with information on new legal developments and legislation impacting the redevelopment process.  You can sign up to receive editions of the Redevelop New Jersey newsletter by completing the contact form below.
