Introduction
My focus
I focus my practice on domestic real estate transactions, advising clients on all the element of commercial real estate matters, including dispositions, acquisitions, structuring, finance, leasing, and management.
I represent real estate investment trusts (REITs), joint venture partners, fund sponsors, investors, lenders, purchasers, and sellers engaged in retail, industrial, office, and multifamily transactions in multiple facets, including negotiation, documentation, and due diligence for commercial real estate transactions.
Representative experience
- Representation of a REIT in connection with the sale of a five property multi-family portfolio across three states
- Representation of a REIT in connection with the sale of a 59 triple-net site portfolio across fifteen states
- Lease and sublease transactions representing landlords, tenants, and subtenants across the county
Looking ahead
I am seeing a new breed of buyers, sellers, and developers emerge—a group focused on identifying opportunities outside major metro areas that have previously been undervalued or dismissed due to a perception of limited upside. In the last few years, there has been a frenzy of activity across the country in nearly all sectors of commercial real estate, which has forced buyers, sellers, and developers to look at those previously ignored and overlooked opportunities and get more creative with offerings, marketing, revitalization plans, redevelopment plans, and the like to not only stay competitive but to continue growing their businesses and delivering results to their investors and the public.
