About
The Master Planned Community and Condominium Practice Group of Armbrust & Brown, L.L.P. concentrates on master planned community and condominium development, from inception of the project through completion and transition to owner control. The group is comprised of six attorneys whose focus is exclusively within this practice area.
In representing developers of both condominium and master-planned communities, this practice group has expertise in preparing project documents and other materials relating to the creation and administration of the community's governance structure, including restrictive covenants, design guidelines, rules, community association organizational documents, consumer disclosures, sales reservation agreements and contracts. The attorneys in this practice group have broad experience in advising clients on condominium and community association issues that arise both during the developer control period and in the transition of the project to resident/owner control, consulting with third party service providers (e.g., surveyors, architects, and property managers), and assisting in the implementation of a marketing program for the community. This practice group also assists condominium developers in meeting and achieving federal financing pre-approval, e.g., FNMA and FHA, and complying with federal Interstate Land Sales Act registration and disclosure requirements.
