Pryor Cashman’s Real Estate Group represents international, national, regional and local landlords and tenants in the commercial leasing and subleasing of office, retail and industrial space. Our tenant side matters include representation of shopping mall anchor tenants, retail chain tenants, storefront tenants and office space tenants with regard to leasing, subleasing, assignment, fixture and leasehold financing, build-out, construction, termination and expansion matters throughout the U.S.

Our landlord side matters include representation of shopping center and office building owners and developers and condominium unit, retail and mixed-use building owners in the leasing, financing, amending and approval processes.

Our knowledge of the leasing market benefits our clients not only in negotiating and finalizing these leases, but also in making key strategic leasing decisions as they arise. The Real Estate Group’s practical familiarity with all ancillary leasing documents ensures that we successfully represent clients from the original deal sheet through lease execution, non-disturbance agreements, architects' agreements and contractors' agreements.

The leasing experience and skill of our Real Estate Group is often sought out by other Pryor Cashman practice groups.
