We represent developers, owners, tenants and lenders of retail projects. Our mission is to provide cost-effective, sophisticated and practical counsel to our clients so that a client’s project can transition from an idea to a reality.

- Negotiation of purchase and sale agreements for the acquisition of a property.
- Negotiation of ground leases.
- Review of due diligence to determine the feasibility of a project, such as the review of title and survey, environmental reports, zoning and entitlements and other property documents.
- Negotiation of development documents with third parties (both public and private), such as site development agreements, declarations, restrictive covenants, easement agreements, utility service agreements, and incentive agreements with governing authorities.
- Negotiation of debt and equity financing arrangements for a project, including the negotiation of loan documents, limited partnership agreements, limited liability company agreements, joint venture agreements, contribution agreements and profit participation agreements.
