Real Estate

There are a great many parties operating on the real estate market, from contractors and property developers to property funders and investors. Moreover, municipal and provincial authorities play an important part in establishing the boundaries of the playing field.

Specialised team
AKD's team of lawyers and civil-law notaries specialises in all legal areas directly or indirectly relating to construction and real estate. This enables us to provide the best possible service to all parties involved during each and every phase of property development. For example, our clients include important players such as Heijmans, Janssen de Jong and AM, for housing corporations such as Omnia Wonen and Com.wonen and for various municipal and provincial authorities, including the city of Breda and the province of Gelderland.

Assistance from start to finish
We can advise and assist you on all the relevant procedures from start to finish: from your application for building permission and environmental permits right up to the drawing up of development and financing contracts. We also act in matters concerning arbitration, compulsory purchase and (government) liability wherever necessary.

PPPs
We have extensive experience in setting up public-private partnerships (PPPs). Some examples of these are the redevelopment of city centre areas in a number of cities including Amsterdam, The Hague, Eindhoven, Tilburg, Maastricht and Venlo, as well as the redevelopment of the Perkpolder in Zeeland, where a hotel, a marina, a golf course and housing are being constructed. During these procedures, AKD gives advice on matters such as PPP contracts, regional zoning policy, zoning plans and environmental permits.
