Partner
Ms. Wagner concentrates her practice in land use, zoning, environmental and historic preservation law. She is currently coordinating Kramer Levin’s participation in a legal team representing the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on its Access to the Region’s Core project, which would build a new rail tunnel under the Hudson River leading to a new station in Manhattan. She is also representing General Growth Properties on its redevelopment of the South Street Seaport, and Silverstein Properties on several major development projects in Manhattan. She has for many years counselled New York University on land use matters, including its physical master plan, its acquisition of development sites and new buildings and its use and development of properties which are subject to special zoning, urban renewal and historic designation constraints. She has negotiated numerous multi-party transactions for the transfer of development rights, and has performed due diligence on the purchase and financing of major properties.
