What I write about here, and why
A short opening note on the kind of real estate writing this site will host — and the kind it won't.
James Neeld
I'm a real estate development attorney. I represent developers, institutional investors, and operating partners on the deals that put ground under buildings — entitlements, joint ventures, acquisitions, financings. This is where I publish the field notes from that work, and, separately, the grimdark fantasy I write in the hours that belong to me.
Writing on real estate development law — for developers, investors, and the lawyers who close their deals.
