Zoning Laws, Design Approval, and Business Lending

While there is quite a bit of pomp and circumstance around the groundbreaking, getting the first shovel to hit the dirt can take years.

No matter the scale, every new construction project faces similar legal questions. Below are some of the most common items that our team of Minneapolis business lawyers assist developers and business owners with when breaking ground.

 

Minneapolis Zoning Code: Understanding a city’s zoning laws before beginning the design process is vital. KTF’s team of Minneapolis business lawyers is very familiar with the Twin City’s zoning laws and can provide guidance to design a building that adheres to all zoning codes.

Design Approval: In order to ensure that the design of the new structure’s design will meet building code and other regulations, design approval must take place. Depending on the location and scale of the project, this may mean getting certified by the city, county, or state. The design approval is also an agreement between a developer and contractor on the desired end product.

Business Lending: New construction takes money. In most cases this involves taking out a business loan to fund the construction. Set yourself up for success by trusting our business attorneys to serve as your advocate throughout the business lending process.
