Brownfields

Brownfields are abandoned, idled, or under-utilized properties where redevelopment is often hindered by actual or perceived environmental contamination. Mid-Atlantic is a leading firm in brownfield redevelopment, transforming both public and private properties into valuable community assets and investment opportunities. We offer innovative, business-oriented solutions to real estate owners, developers, investors, banks, and municipalities, focusing on brownfield redevelopment and the disposition of impaired assets. With expertise in leveraging EPA brownfield grants, we have secured over $15 million in funding and facilitated more than $2 billion in private redevelopment for North Carolina communities. Serving clients across the region, we equip communities with the resources needed to address blight and environmental uncertainty in their jurisdictions.

Private Brownfield Redevelopment

Mid-Atlantic guides prospective developers through the redevelopment of brownfield properties, assisting them through state brownfield programs and leveraging our unique ability to collaborate with various stakeholders to identify cost-effective solutions. In doing so, we have saved our clients millions of dollars in both direct costs and opportunity expenses.
