In Boston, I regularly appear before the Boston Planning and Development Agency, the Boston Zoning Board of Appeal and Zoning Commission, the Boston Air Pollution Control Commission, the Public Improvement Commission and Boston Landmarks Commission. In nearby Somerville I regularly work closely with the Office of Strategic Planning and Community Development, and frequently appear before the Planning Board, Historic Commission, and Zoning Board. My practice and the team that I lead at Sullivan obtain local, state and federal permits and approvals for our developer clients, and we stay abreast of all relevant political issues from the "word on the street" in each neighborhood in which we work to state and federal laws and policy shifts that will affect our clients in bigger pictures ways. I represent developers, family offices, REITs, REIMs, universities/colleges, hospitals, hotel owners and managers and land-centric nonprofits.REPRESENTATIVE CLIENT WORK -- BOSTON- Ongoing permitting and land-use work for a single client relating to the development of three life science buildings on a 4.5 acre site in the South Boston Marine Park, multiple life science buildings on a 16.5 acre site in Dorchester, a single 400,000 square foot life science building in Downtown Boston, and a single 350,000 square foot life science building in South Boston.- Ongoing permitting and land-use work for the master planning of 7.5 acres in Dorchester for mixed use including life science, residential, and retail- Ongoing permitting and land-use work for the master planning and design impact review of a 25.5 acre site in Charlestown including life science, office, residential, hotel, retail and significant open space and resiliency measures
