Eileen Brophy, Valerie Moore, and Matt Snell, partners in Nutter’s Real Estate Department, will discuss the zoning landscape in Massachusetts in a NAIOP seminar. In the session, “Zoning 101,” the speakers will address how a working knowledge of zoning is essential when developing, buying, or selling commercial real estate. Understanding how to interpret a zoning ordinance can uncover hidden opportunities in underutilized properties and help you avoid costly permitting surprises that can derail a project or deal.

Attendees will learn the fundamentals from navigating due diligence pitfalls to understanding the municipal permitting process in both Massachusetts and Boston, and what to expect if your project faces an appeal. This course is ideal for those looking to sharpen their zoning knowledge and streamline project approvals. You’ll walk away with practical skills to:

• Read and apply zoning ordinances and bylaws with confidence
• Effectively present before zoning boards
• Anticipate and manage the permitting process for a smoother path to approval
