Dennis Sughrue

Dennis Sughrue is a partner and a member of the firm’s Real Estate Group. He is experienced in:

• Complex real estate transactions, including acquisitions and dispositions
• Joint ventures
• Mortgage, mezzanine and construction financing
• Commercial and industrial leasing matters

Dennis excels in counseling clients on thorny transactions with complex structuring requirements. He is known for his ability to uncover hidden value in real estate assets, and his creative structuring of transactions including the “Sale-Condo Back”, in which an owner sells property to a developer who then conveys a piece of the property back in the form of a commercial condo. 

His clients include a wide range of prominent local owners and developers. Several of Dennis’s recent matters involve development projects in the High Line and Meatpacking Districts, two of the fastest-growing neighborhoods in New York City. His work in those areas includes the sale of a high-profile development site and the note acquisition, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, financing and development of a luxury condominium. 

Dennis is fluent in French and also represents a wide range of French clients in U.S. and European real estate transactions. As such he prides himself on his ability to translate esoteric legal concepts to foreign investors. 

Sughrue earned his J.D. from New York University School of Law and his B.A., cum laude, from Dartmouth College.
