Mallory Muse represents developers, landowners, and investment firms in complex real estate development and finance matters, with emphasis on land use strategy in Texas’ rapidly growing markets. Her practice includes navigating zoning and economic development incentive approvals before cities, counties, and other governmental entities. She routinely advises clients on development agreements, vested rights, annexation, zoning entitlements, tax incentives, and regulatory compliance, including strategic responses to evolving state laws that impact development authority. Her work includes urban mixed-use projects, large-scale master-planned communities, multifamily and single-family housing, hotel, office, data centers, retail centers, and specialty housing projects in major markets across Texas.
In addition to her land use practice, Mallory has transactional experience managing the real estate components of property sales and acquisitions, mortgage and mezzanine financing, and the merger, acquisition, or restructuring of corporations with substantial real estate holdings. She has negotiated lease-sale agreements in Chapter 11 proceedings, overseen due diligence and property transfers in multi-billion-dollar acquisitions, and reviewed commercial leases in connection with IPOs.
Mallory’s ability to blend sophisticated entitlement strategy with complex transactional experience allows her to support clients pursuing development in both dense urban infill districts and high-growth suburban corridors—advancing projects that shape the future of the communities they serve.
