Zoning

We obtain pre-consideration and advise clients in matters pertaining to:

• Lot Coverage

• Floor Area Ratio (FAR) Compliance

• Bulk Analysis

• Setbacks

• Sky Exposure Plane and Expansions

• Air Rights

• Growth Maximization and Efficiency

• Inclusionary Housing Programs

• Integration of Uses

• Unique Circumstances

Modernizing New York’s buildings for new uses and occupancies has been the backbone of our practice since 1972. To us zoning is about more than compliance – it is about maximizing investment ROI in new construction.

As priorities change and rooftops are being used differently – including to combat climate change, we remain at the forefront of utilizing NYC zoning code to most intelligently integrate green roofs and renewable energy into building retrofit and design.
