Development
Our real estate team guides owners and developers through every stage of a real estate project, from securing financing and site acquisition, through design, construction, and ultimate disposition. We coordinate title review, due diligence, entitlements and land use analysis to identify and resolve potential issues early in the process. We also negotiate construction and design agreements on behalf of our clients, providing practical, risk-conscious guidance intended to keep projects on schedule, within budget, and aligned with our clients’ broader investment objectives.
Leasing
Our comprehensive leasing practice spans industrial, retail, office and mixed-use properties, including headquarters leases, logistics and distribution facilities, anchor retail transactions, and long-term ground leases, including those that support renewable energy installations. Whether negotiating a single lease or managing a large-scale, portfolio-wide leasing program, we provide strategic, business-focused counsel designed to protect our clients’ interests and support long-term operational success.
Financing & Deal Structuring
We advise both borrowers and lenders on all forms of real estate-backed financing, including acquisition loans, construction loans, bridge financing, and permanent debt.
