Development Agreement: Definition & Sample
A development agreement is a legal contract where a property owner will contract with local jurisdiction that the property is located in to develop the property. This real estate agreement dictates what can and will be done with the property.
- Rules and regulations for development of a property
- Commitments and policies related to development of the property
- Specific time frames for development of the property
These sections ensure the property is developed in accordance with what the local jurisdiction requires for the property (if anything) and is related to development by a developer and not an individual landowner.

3.2 | Unmet Criteria . If a Deliverable is determined not to meet its Acceptance Criteria, Luna shall continue to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to correct the aspects of the Deliverable leading to its failure to meet Acceptance Criteria (including any known nonconformities to Specifications) and consequently redeliver the corrected Deliverable. For avoidance of doubt, any such further efforts shall continue to be governed by Section 2.3(b) above. |
