Credentials
Why work with Lawson Lundell
01
Land assembly and rezoning
A multiplex or small-scale multi-unit project often starts with assembling adjacent lots and getting the zoning changed. The Real Estate Group handles large land assemblies, municipal approvals, and rezoning, so the legal side of a development site is in one place.
02
Strata wind-ups and project sales
When an older building is being acquired and redeveloped, a strata wind-up may be needed. Edward Wilson is ranked by Chambers for strata wind-ups and development, and the group handles strata titled project sales directly.
03
Developer and investor clients
The group acts for developers, institutional and private investors, and pension funds on acquisitions, joint ventures, and financing. That mix is useful when a multiplex project brings in equity partners or construction financing.
04
Mandarin-language service
Jack Yong serves Asia-Pacific clients and provides services in Chinese, which helps when an owner, investor, or partner on a Vancouver project speaks Mandarin.
