Real Estate and Land Use

Effective land use and development creates jobs, grows local economies, and serves community interests. We connect people in the real estate world and help our clients develop community and government support for their initiatives.

Case Study: Wrigley Rooftop Owners. Conlon Public Strategies serves as an advocate for the association of small businesses that own the rooftops overlooking Wrigley Field, where companies and individuals often hold events during Cubs games. We helped this association work with community and city leaders to keep the massive Tribune Company from building an addition to Wrigley Field that would have obscured the view from the rooftops. Ultimately, we reached a compromise that keeps the Wrigley Rooftop Owners in business.

Case study: Ohio University Airport. Conlon Public Strategies helped this university obtain funding from the federal government to expand the runway at its airport, adding millions to the local economy.

Case study: Enchanted Resorts. Conlon Public Strategies is serving as an on-site manager for the development of a 35-lot residential project in Napa Valley, California. We are navigating the pre-construction planning and permitting process and coordinating communication among all the relevant players—civil and structural engineers, lawyers, city officials, in addition to landscape, tree, and geotechnical consultants among others. In a jurisdiction with arguably the toughest regulations in the country, we have turned this property into an asset that completed and certified a Final Map granting approvals for the 35-lot residential project. The project has now embarked on seeking entitlements for a hotel to compliment the residential project. We continue to service this client.
