Introduction
My focus
I represent developers and sponsors of cooperative corporations and condominiums. I prepare offering plans and advise my clients on the submission and approval process with various New York State and New York City agencies. Once all approvals are obtained, I also oversee sponsor unit sales and manage closings for both new construction and conversion projects.
I also have extensive experience in representing condominium and cooperative boards of existing properties. I advise boards on necessary amendments to their declarations, proprietary leases, and bylaws, and advise them on any legal issues that may come up within their communities.
Looking ahead
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly forced investors, developers, and residents to re-assess the value of major real estate markets, such as New York City. As a result, I believe that the various city and state agencies will work hard to come up with programs to incentivize all market participants to continue seeing the value in staying in major metropolitan areas.
