Redeveloping Complex Properties

Vita Nuova helps reposition and dispose of some of the largest and most challenging properties. Projects in the western hemisphere have included nuclear sites, refineries, chemical and munitions facilities, and other properties encumbered by complex land use restrictions or environmental regulations. Whether helping clients navigate the Superfund process, evaluate sustainable reuse options, or strategize about the disposition of surplus assets, Vita Nuova’s goal is to create value where none exists and construct a redevelopment path that ensures the long-term sustainability of property reuse.
