About

Provided by Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP

Private sector commercial real estate investors must address increasingly complex issues involved in real estate transactions of all types, especially as more complicated structures are employed and new laws and regulations are enacted. At the same time, cultural, educational and other nonprofit organizations, are placing greater emphasis on their real estate holdings and are finding that they need as much guidance as their private sector counterparts to manage and develop their holdings.

Working closely with owners, tenants, lenders and brokers to quickly respond to the changes in the local and national real estate markets, Patterson Belknap's real estate attorneys structure and close a wide variety of deals. We advise clients on the negotiation of leases of office, industrial and retail properties (both landlord- and tenant-side); the acquisition and sale of properties; construction and design contracts; and the closing of construction, permanent and mezzanine loans.

Our focus on innovative solutions to real estate issues, our relationships with our clients and understanding of their businesses and needs, and the establishment of internal systems to increase efficiency all help our clients get the deal done.
