Project Development & Construction
Our Project Development & Construction team combines real estate experts from across our three disciplines – lawyers, tax advisers and civil law notaries. This allows us to service all our clients’ legal and tax needs.
Because the knowledge and expertise of our team members covers the entire life cycle of real estate, our clients can rely on swift responses and spot-on advice. This specialised multidisciplinary approach clearly distinguishes us from others and enables us to deal with complex large-scale development projects.

Focus on sizable area developments
Furthermore, our team is particularly active in sizable residential and area developments (preferably mixed use), as well as commercial and industrial real estate development. Our client base is varied; we assist project developers, investors, contractors, end users and public bodies.

Whatever your request, you can count on us.
Specialised in complex inner-city development
With an enormous track record in (large scale) inner-city development, including high-rise and mixed-use projects, we know the ins and outs of these projects.

Handling these complexities and challenges is day to day business for us and the many parties we work with.
