About Alejandro Arias
I am a real estate attorney in Holland & Knight\'s Miami office. My practice is focused on land use and zoning matters. I am well versed on creating multifaceted strategies for project approvals that include working with development teams (owners, architects, engineers and contractors), meeting with key constituencies (whether in support or opposition), interacting with government officials and staff, preparing public outreach messaging and lobbying elected officials. I routinely appear before city and county commissions, local zoning boards and specialized boards (architects\' boards and environmental quality control boards) with requests for land use changes, rezonings, site plan approvals, variances, wetlands and environmental compliance requests, and contracting matters.Some of my clients include national homebuilders, local and international developers, affordable housing developers, multinational engineering and construction companies, major utility companies and government agencies. Throughout my career, I have obtained a multitude of development entitlement approvals for a number of diverse projects, including multifamily housing, master-planned residential subdivisions, retail and commercial uses, live/work developments, student housing complexes and more.
