About

Provided by Dentons

The Dentons Spanish Real Estate team, led by Roberto Tojo (Head of Department) and Itxaso López, has gold-standard expertise in advising institutional and domestic clients on real estate investments both in single-country and cross-border transactions.

A significant part of the practice focuses on real estate M&A transactions, assisting institutional investors, developers, private equity houses, and alternative lenders in acquiring and disposing of individual assets and property portfolios across key sectors, including logistics, hotels, residential, student housing, offices, and retail. The team has also developed a strong specialization in emerging market trends, such as data centers, co-living spaces, and shopping centers, aligning with the evolving needs of investors.

Driven by quality and complexity rather than volume, the team has successfully advised on some of the most challenging deals. They are commercially oriented business advisors, committed to being "closers" of deals.

Following market demands, the team is actively supporting investors and local players in joint ventures within the logistics sector and in complex transactions involving the change of use of existing properties to develop new projects. As real estate client needs evolve, Dentons Spain remains a trusted partner in navigating these transformative times.
