Key Environmental Risks in Commercial Property Development
Are you considering a commercial real estate investment in New England?
Before you break ground or close the deal, it’s significant to understand the environmental risks that could impact your property’s value, safety, and long-term success. Here’s what every commercial property buyer, investor, or developer should know about environmental hazards and why Environmental Site Assessments (ESAs) are a must.
Why Environmental Due Diligence Matters
Environmental risks can be hidden beneath the surface-literally. Issues like soil contamination, underground storage tanks, asbestos, and even historical land use (think: old factories or gas stations) can create major liabilities. In New England, with its rich industrial history and diverse landscapes, these risks are especially relevant.
We specialize in environmental due diligence for commercial real estate in New England. Our team provides thorough ESAs, risk assessments, and remediation guidance to ensure your investment is safe, compliant, and future-ready.
