Commercial Real Estate

We represent investors, developers, owners and operators across the ownership cycle — acquisition and disposition, ground-up development, joint venture formation, leasing, recapitalization and portfolio transactions. The practice is weighted toward multifamily and extends to hospitality, retail, self-storage, mixed-use, land and adaptive-reuse projects.

Multi-property and portfolio work is a regular part of the practice, including acquisitions spanning several states. We handle simultaneous and staged closings, allocate purchase price and diligence risk among assets, and coordinate the lender, title, survey, insurance and zoning workstreams that determine whether a multi-asset closing holds its schedule.

Development matters run from single-asset ground-up projects through master-planned developments combining single-family, multifamily, commercial and retail components. We structure the ownership and development entities, negotiate construction and design professional agreements, and coordinate entitlement, platting and land use work with local counsel and consultants where a project requires it.

Because the firm also handles the financing, entity and securities work surrounding a real estate transaction, the acquisition, capital and closing documents are drafted against one set of business assumptions rather than three. The firm also provides commercial title and closing services — title examination, curative work and coordination through policy issuance — and includes an attorney approved by several national title insurance underwriters.
