Randall P. Olsen

Attorney

Randall helps clients acquire, develop, permit, use, and resolve disputes involving real property. He works with property owners, developers, consultants and governmental entities to obtain land use entitlements and, when necessary, to file or defend against lawsuits related to the development and use of real property. Randall also drafts covenants and easements needed to coordinate uses, maintenance and management between multiple property owners, including drafting conditions, covenants and restrictions (CC&Rs) for homeowners associations and master planned communities.

Randall is the Chair of Cairncross & Hempelmann’s Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Group. The TOD Group helps clients build residential and commercial buildings near the growing number of light rail and bus rapid transit stations throughout the Puget Sound region. These transit-oriented development projects minimize the number of cars on our crowded highways, decrease the environmental impacts related to traditional car-centric developments, and improve our quality of life by creating compact, mixed-use neighborhoods with convenient access to our transit systems. The TOD Group understands the fundamental barriers and opportunities involved in transit-oriented development, and has the expertise in the areas of land use, real estate acquisition and sale, finance, and litigation to help clients make their transit-oriented development projects a reality.
