David Sheldon is a coordinator and member of the community advocacy group Save Our Seaport, which is part of the Seaport Coalition. The Seaport Coalition recently came out victorious in a lawsuit against the Landmark Preservation Committee (LPC) over approval to build a tower in place of a parking lot (​​South St. Seaport Coalition v. LPC). In this episode of the Closed podcast Cooper Knowlton and Michael Flynn chat with David about this case, and discuss the larger implications that this matter may have on development and the preservation of historical sites in New York City. Give it a listen and let us know what you think.

Working Together. For You.

We are not just your attorneys, we are your partners.

The purchase or sale of real estate is a major financial transaction in a person or company’s life. A real estate transaction is a contract where the terms of the documents will determine your rights, so it is essential to take an aggressive approach to the negotiation and drafting of these documents. Failing to do so could cause the loss of significant value and may bind you to unfavorable terms.

Especially in a high-priced market such as NYC, it is important to approach these transactions with help from a dedicated attorney. Property transactions require disciplined attention to detail as well as in-depth knowledge of the law. Let a New York City real estate lawyer protect your rights and preserve your best interests.
