Permitting & Regulatory Compliance

Regulatory understanding and technical expertise to secure complex permits

In today’s complex and ever-evolving regulatory environment, one of the most challenging and uncertain aspects of the development process is compliance with local, state, and federal regulations.

For three decades, Najarian Associates has secured NJDEP and federal permits for large residential, commercial, and industrial development projects throughout New Jersey. The firm’s record of success is attributable to technical expertise, regulatory understanding, clear and comprehensive application packages, and effective relationships with regulatory agencies.

These attributes have allowed Najarian to successfully navigate the regulatory maze to obtain permits and maximize client development goals in a timely and cost-effective manner.
