Land Use and Environmental Group

In Hawaii, we value our natural environment and the beauty it provides for our community. Therefore, sensitivity to the land and our environment is critical to the success of any development.

Based on our expertise in resolving complex environmental and community issues, we provide key assistance in every phase of a project, including communicating with government officials, obtaining the necessary permits, and negotiating and drafting necessary documents. We have an established record of successfully representing clients before the State Land Use Commission, Board of Land and Natural Resources, Hawaii Community Development Authority, county planning commissions and zoning authorities. Watanabe Ing land use and entitlement practice includes major planned resorts, and a multitude of commercial and residential developments on all islands.

The following are representative areas that we have assisted clients with:
