Strategic Land
Carter Jonas has been involved in some of the largest residential development sites nationwide, and acts for a variety of clients straddling the public, institutional, charity, corporate and private sectors.
Promoting development sites successfully depends on good timing, strong project management and an expert team of professional advisers. Our planning and development teams have a wealth of experience in promoting land for development and in successfully securing planning permissions. Whether brownfield or greenfield, we know what’s needed for the successful delivery of development land.
However, the current planning system is increasingly complex, time consuming and expensive. Many landowners are not prepared to speculate the funds required for the successful promotion of development opportunities, and we can advise on the alternatives available.
Carter Jonas has extensive experience in identifying development partners to bear the costs of promotion, and in negotiating the most appropriate arrangements for individual landowners to put in place, such as options, promotion agreements and joint ventures.
- Identification of development potential
- Strategic planning and development advice
- Project management and planning promotion
- Land assembly
- Options and other forms of promotional agreements
- Landowner collaboration and equalisation agreements
