Build-to-rent developments require careful consideration of zoning, community impact, and long-term sustainability. As this sector grows, developers must navigate complex regulatory environments to successfully implement build-to-rent projects.   Dentons Partners Jodie Wauchope, Mitchell Osborne, Special Counsel Justin K. and Senior Associate Stephanie Hendy identify what corresponding form of development is capable of being carried out consistent with the Commonwealth's proposed build-to-rent reforms and offer guidance on how to effectively manage the planning process.   Read more: https://lnkd.in/gUGW3rMj   #BtR #BuildToRent #PlanningLaw #Dentons

Clear signs today from both investors and operators on what’s required to satisfy the ever-increasing demand for barrier-free living and care homes: - More #consistency between federal states on planning law and legal requirements for new build. - Increased use of #serial and #modular construction methods. - Urgent #simplication, #digitalisation and #speed for operators to (re-)negotiate their investment costs. #ZIA #pflege #pflegeimmobilien #investitionskosten

VY meets state politicians Last week, our team had the privilege of meeting with The Hon Scott Farlow MLC and Mr Tim James MP to discuss the upcoming review by the Public Accountability and Works Committee of the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 and the Residential Apartment Buildings (Compliance and Enforcement) Act 2020.    It was a pleasure to be heard on some of the experiences and concerns raised by our clients, particularly in relation to:    1.       the complex regulatory framework within the building and construction industry;  2.       the apportionment of statutory duties; and  3.       our suggested amendments moving forward.

MS&B is proud to have represented the Borough of Carteret in a pivotal yet nuanced eminent domain case. The Appellate Division recently upheld a Middlesex County trial court’s decision to permit the Borough to acquire a portion of an apartment complex parking lot. This decision allows for a vital infrastructure project that will connect Carteret’s thriving downtown and its developing waterfront. The property owner, a significant regional developer, fiercely contested the acquisition, citing concerns about unnecessary road extensions and engineering standards. This led to an unusually extensive legal process, with multiple hearings and rounds of briefing required by the trial court. Under the leadership of Kevin McManimon, and through diligent advocacy, MS&B demonstrated that the road extension serves a valid public purpose and complies with all design standards. The Appellate Division affirmed the ruling on October 17, 2024, marking an important step in improving accessibility across the Borough’s expanding developments.

Our partner Rebecca Campbell is featured contributor in BE News’s ‘25 for ’25’, a comprehensive collection of industry predictions for the built environment sector in the year ahead.   In the article, Rebecca points to the upcoming Renters’ Rights Bill. This major reform will promote increased litigation in the residential sector, which may put further strain on an overstretched county court system and possibly sway some landlords to exit the rental market altogether.   To read Rebecca’s thoughts in full, please click the link below: https://lnkd.in/eZqm8ind   #RealEstate #Construction

Massachusetts has been ranked as a "bottom state" for affordable housing, with an average construction cost per new housing unit of $334,280, making it the third most expensive in the nation. Despite recent legislative efforts, including the Affordable Homes Act, high construction costs driven by materials, labor, and regulatory compliance continue to pose challenges for increasing affordable housing stock. In contrast, Delaware ranks as the top state for affordable housing. #AffordableHousing #massachusettshousing #highconstructioncosts #housingcrisis #affordablehomesact #realestatetrends #housingaffordability
