Representative Matters

  • Represented a joint venture of real estate investment groups in connection with the acquisition of two commercial real estate portfolios consisting, in aggregate, of 45 properties located in 12 states, occupied by regional and national commercial tenants. Our work involved negotiation and documentation of a loan collateralized by both portfolios and coordination of like-kind exchanges. We undertook complex due diligence matters and drafted customary real estate acquisition and lease documents.
