    My focus

    Acquisition, Development, and General Real Estate

    I assist clients with many aspects of general real estate transactions—including acquisition, disposition, and development of commercial and industrial land, multifamily properties, and seniors housing; property diligence reviews; commercial/retail leases; land use and easement agreements; sale-leaseback arrangements; and real estate joint ventures. I also assist clients with complex debt and equity arrangements, including construction lending and arrangements utilizing state and federal low-income housing tax credits and historic tax credits.

    I also help owners of subsidized multifamily housing, located in Massachusetts, navigate state oversight of such properties, particularly with respect to the termination notice and disposition approval requirements of M.G.L. c. 40T.

    Seniors housing

    As a member of the Seniors Housing team, I represent facility owners and operators in various acquisition, disposition, and financing transactions.

    Looking ahead

    I anticipate more creative mixed-use and multifamily projects near transportation as cities and states focus on these opportunities.
