The real estate industry, with its sensitivity to economic cycles, demographics, and interest rates, requires the advice of practitioners who understand the industry’s needs and have the experience to take a long-term view.

This real estate practice provides objective, unbiased, imaginative real estate counsel to institutional, corporate, government, and individual clients. Whether providing analysis of institutional-grade properties such as large mixed-use projects, office buildings, shopping centers, industrial properties, apartment buildings and complexes, hotels, resorts, and development land – or simply helping an owner user figure out an exit strategy on a single property – that’s what we do.
Where we don’t have the direct experience, we have access to professional staff and colleagues whose background and experience include real estate valuation, acquisitions, investment analysis and counseling, urban economics, management, research, publishing, and systems development.Through our global connections, organizational involvements and ‘staying on top of trends’ we can offer a strong research-based approach, gathering and analyzing broad national and regional economic data in relation to the most current specific data germane to each assignment. Ongoing research into national and local market conditions and institutional investment criteria results in a constantly current understanding of the real estate market. We are aware of evolving trends before they are reflected in regional and national data.

Our practice encompasses the full range of activity for the real estate development and construction industry. We work for the following industry participants in all of their activities:- developers and builders, in acquisition, planning, construction and leasing- developers and lenders, in financing and refinancing projects and acquisitions, and in syndicated financings or refinancings- development corporations and underwriters, in mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, restructurings and public offerings- governments and private-sector participants, in the development of innovative public and public-private infrastructure projects- lenders, receivers and others in the realization of distressed real estate assets- pension and investment funds in the acquisition, structuring and offering of investments in the industry.

We advise on every type of major real estate development, including commercial, industrial, mixed-use, residential, investments, syndications, leasing, infrastructure, public-private partnerships and special-purpose. We have particular expertise in handling all aspects of large, complex construction transactions, bulk real estate portfolios and restructurings. We work closely with environmental practitioners to ensure integrated and responsive service on all transactions.

The ability to draw on the outstanding skills of our fellow real estate practitioners across the organization as well as lawyers, engineers, architects, financial advisors with expertise in such related areas as tax (structuring), banking (financing and regulatory compliance), environmental, municipal (land use, permitting and approvals), insolvency and litigation (liens and liquidated damage claims), allows us to provide clients with seamless, integrated service on even the largest and most complex transactions.
