What rights does a developer need to build an elevated walkway crossing over a commercial property?

Air Rights
Mineral Rights
Riparian Rights
Surface Rights
Water Rights
Subsurface Rights

The correct answer is: Air Rights

The correct answer is Air Rights. Air Rights refer to the legal right to control, occupy, and use the space above a property within certain legal limits. In the case of building an elevated walkway crossing over a commercial property, the developer would need to acquire the air rights from the property owner to have the legal authorization to construct the walkway in that space. Mineral Rights refer to the rights to exploit, mine, and produce any minerals lying beneath the surface of the property. Riparian Rights relate to a property owner's rights and obligations regarding a body of water that is adjacent to or flows through their land. Surface Rights pertain to the rights to use and develop the surface of the land. Water Rights involve rights to use and access bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, or streams. Subsurface Rights involve rights to resources located underneath the surface of the land.
