Real Estate Finance
Davis Graham & Stubbs LLP advises borrowers in real estate secured lending transactions to fund project acquisition and (horizontal and vertical) development in a range of commercial lending enterprises, such as shopping centers and retail, office buildings, mixed-use projects, industrial facilities, ski area development, condominium building, and affordable housing and community development. Specific financing transaction types include acquisition loans, construction loans (horizontal and vertical), permanent loans, traditional bank loans, life insurance company loans, public finance, project finance, and securitized loans.
Real estate finance transactions require a careful balance of legal precision, market awareness, and strategic structuring. At Davis Graham, our attorneys advise clients on a wide range of financing arrangements designed to support acquisitions, development projects, and long-term portfolio growth. We represent borrowers, lenders, investors, and financial institutions, providing comprehensive guidance at every stage of the financing lifecycle.
Our team regularly handles complex debt and equity financing transactions, including construction loans, permanent financing, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity investments including tax equity financing. We work closely with clients to structure deals that align with their financial objectives while addressing risk allocation, collateral requirements, and regulatory considerations. By taking a proactive approach to negotiation and documentation, we help ensure that transactions proceed efficiently and with minimal disruption.
We understand that today’s real estate finance landscape is shaped by evolving market conditions and capital sources. Our attorneys have experience working with traditional lenders, private equity firms, institutional investors, and alternative financing providers, allowing us to craft solutions that reflect current market realities. Whether structuring a single-asset transaction or advising on a large, multi-property portfolio, we bring a practical, business-focused perspective to every engagement.
In addition to transactional work, we assist clients with loan restructurings, workouts, and distressed asset scenarios. When market conditions shift or projects encounter challenges, our team provides strategic counsel to help clients preserve value and identify viable paths forward. This includes negotiating modifications, forbearance agreements, and recapitalization structures that support long-term stability.
Our Real Estate Finance practice is closely integrated with our broader real estate, corporate, and litigation teams, enabling us to provide seamless support across related legal matters. From due diligence and title review to closing and post-closing compliance, we offer end-to-end service designed to meet the demands of sophisticated transactions. We also advise clients on regulatory issues that may impact financing structures, ensuring compliance while maintaining flexibility.
At Davis Graham, we recognize that every financing transaction presents unique opportunities and challenges. Our attorneys are committed to delivering clear, actionable guidance that helps clients move forward with confidence. By combining deep legal experience with a collaborative approach, we help clients structure and execute real estate finance transactions that support both immediate objectives and long-term success.
