About

Provided by Olshan Frome Wolosky LLP

Across the nation and especially in and around New York, our skilled handling of real estate transactions has helped our real estate lawyers achieve an outstanding reputation in the industry. Leveraging our in-depth knowledge, creative deal-making, and diligent and cost-efficient service, we negotiate and close some of the country’s most sophisticated and significant real estate transactions on behalf of our clients.

We have particular experience serving real estate clients with respect to office buildings, including purchases, joint ventures, financings, sales, and space leasing and ground leasing of office buildings, residential rental condominium and hotel development sites, and retail leasing where we represent major brand retailers in leasing retail space in Manhattan and across the U.S. We work with our tax and securities law colleagues on structures for tax efficient investments under the federal opportunity zone program. 

Recent transactions include numerous assemblages, often with portions containing air rights, grounds leases and condominium parcels. We have one of the most active air rights conveyancing practices in New York.
