The Brooklyn Bar gets a lesson on air and development rights
From the hotels in Williamsburg and the towers in Downtown Brooklyn to the condos along Fourth Avenue, it seems like the buildings in Brooklyn are getting taller every day. So it was appropriate that the Brooklyn Bar Association (BBA) hosted a land-use attorney and urban planner for a Continuing Legal Education (CLE) seminar on Monday covering development rights.
Kevin Dwarka, whose law firm focuses on helping cities revitalize through different strategies of land use and economic development, hosted the session, titled “The Sky and The City: Development Rights in NYC” on Remsen Street.
“Kevin is a specialist in the area of land use. He’s lectured with us before and he’s a great speaker,” said Mark J. Caruso, chair of the Real Property Section of the BBA. “It’s something that, as a real estate practitioner, I would like to know more about. It’s a CLE that I wanted to attend, so we were thrilled that he agreed to do it.”
