Marsha M. Moore concentrates her practice in land use, redevelopment, real estate and commercial transactions. With more than 25 years of experience, she represents developers and other quasi-public and private sector and quasi-public clients throughout New Jersey, with extensive experience in Essex and Union Counties.

Marsha guides quasi-public and private sector clients through all phases of development, from initial counseling and land acquisition to land use approvals, commercial financing and leasing. Her practice includes negotiating complex, redevelopment agreements, addressing affordable housing restrictions and securing and public incentives, including payments in lieu of taxes (PILOTs) and ongoing general legal counseling to non-profits and housing authorities.

Marsha regularly appears before planning boards, zoning boards of adjustment and historic commissions to secure site plan and subdivision approvals, and variance relief for residential, commercial, mixed-use, educational and religious projects.

Marsha’s background in real estate and business law enables her to guide clients through residential and commercial real estate transactions and the drafting, review and negotiation of business agreements.

In the past 25 years, Marsha has represented developers in several major redevelopment projects particularly in and around Newark and Plainfield, including Museum Parc in Newark, a mixed-use, mixed-income development that will include 250 residential rental apartments (200 market-rate and 50 affordable) across two buildings; a new 4,216-square-foot gallery for the Newark Museum of Art and 2,598 square feet of ground-floor floor retail space; and a 16 story mixed unit project, consisting of 241 units, and 5,700 square feet of commercial and retail space, which formerly housed the historic Paramount Theater site.
