GET TO KNOW NICK

From affordable housing and school expansions to historic hotels and luxury developments, Nick Noto has been involved in bringing to life some of South Florida’s most transformative projects. He represents property owners and developers in navigating state and local land use regulations, with his work spanning pre-acquisition due diligence and obtaining development approvals for residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects across South Florida. Drawing on his prior experience as counsel to several local governments across the Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, he helps clients anticipate roadblocks and unlock opportunities. 

A major focus of Nick’s practice is the Live Local Act, Florida’s groundbreaking workforce and affordable housing legislation, which fast-tracks approvals and offers zoning bonuses and tax incentives to qualifying workforce and affordable housing projects. Nick regularly guides developers on how to use the legislation to bring vital housing to market, while assisting clients in successfully obtaining Live Local Act property tax exemptions across the state.

Q & A
How has your experience working as an Assistant City Attorney helped your practice?
When I served as Assistant City Attorney, I was able to see first-hand how local officials approach new developments in their respective jurisdictions. When it comes to real estate development, relationships are key for understanding what can get done practically beyond what is strictly allowed in a land development code. My current representation involves understanding local government decision-makers on behalf of clients, and my time as a local government lawyer has been instrumental for my effectiveness in achieving results for the firm’s clients in that arena.
Where do you see exciting opportunities for growth in the South Florida real estate market?
I think Broward and Palm Beach Counties are primed for exciting projects in the coming years. For example, over the past several years, high-end, blue chip developers have undertaken groundbreaking luxury multi-family and condo projects across Broward County. The rents and condo prices they are able to achieve would have been unthinkable just a few years ago. As South Florida continues to be a key destination for people around the world to live and work, I think this trend will continue and there will be tremendous development opportunities across the tri-county area, particularly in Broward and Palm Beach Counties.
