Wyatt’s legal team helped coordinate with and worked alongside a team of professionals — architectural, environmental, civil engineering, structural engineering, financial, to name a few — to tackle an assortment of issues standing in the way of the client achieving its vision for the property and, equally important to the client, position the property to be a catalyst of positive change for the surrounding area and the community.

Result

Working together with a highly motivated team pursuing a creative plan within a demanding timeline, all approvals were secured, clearing the way for the client to turn its imaginative and transformative plan into reality.
