Our real estate group hits the ground running. Our skills, experience and knowledge give us the ability to react quickly and handle real estate needs efficiently and effectively. We attend to the details — seeing the forest without getting lost in the trees. From the most streamlined local projects to the most complex multi-jurisdictional transactions, we have the experience to visualize, understand and help clients realize their goals.

We take a practical, “get-it-done” approach because we realize that real estate assets can’t generate income if they are sitting idle. We routinely find ways to help create value for our clients. We focus early on what needs to be done to avoid complications or delays.

• Formation of operating companies
• Ground leases and leasehold financing
