Publisher's Synopsis
This comprehensive guide examines the issues, problems and pitfalls involved in the intersection of real estate, business, and environmental law. A unique and practical resource, Environmental Aspects of Real Estate and Commercial Transactions, Third Edition, covers the entire range of environmental issues that arise when real estate is developed, operated, sold, or financed. Edited by James B. Witkin, the chapters in this expanded and updated compendium are written by a team of 45 authors who include accomplished real estate, environmental, tax, land use, and business lawyers and technical experts, in private practice, corporations, government, and law schools. All chapters have been substantially revised to reflect changes in law and practice, and new chapters have been added on these increasingly important practice topics: conservation easements, brownfields redevelopment at military bases, smart growth initiatives, and environmental justice. The clearly written, detailed, and timely chapters cover all aspects of the environmental issues that must be considered in the purchase, sale, or finance of office, retail, manufacturing, or multifamily properties.
