Pryor Cashman's real estate attorneys have counseled clients on the structuring and marketing of REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) securities, organization and registration under federal and state securities laws, offerings (both public and private) of equity and debt securities, securitization transactions, and secured and unsecured loans. We are active in all aspects of transactional and regulatory work for REITs and owners of real estate portfolios, which include:

• Apartments buildings
• Hotels
• Industrial properties
• Manufactured home communities
• Office buildings
• Shopping centers

Additionally, our attorneys are involved with REITs that specialize in mortgages, mortgage-backed securities, mezzanine loans and other financing structures. We have also served as counsel on merger, acquisition, divestiture and joint venture activities.

Pryor Cashman has advised numerous real estate developers and syndicators, including a number of groups of public limited partnerships, on the use of REITs for the long-term ownership of property. We counsel sponsors and potential sponsors of REITs and real estate operating companies in a number of different situations. We also assist advisors to institutional investors, including investment bankers in connection with their representation of institutional clients, and advisors who have continuing portfolio or asset management relationships with institutions with significant real estate interests.
