Given the volatility of the real estate market, creative and forward-thinking agreements are needed to protect the value of investments. From ownership structuring through financing options, sales or leasing agreements, and potential development, all of the moving parts and disparate parties must be managed with finesse and foresight.
Located in one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the world, Pryor Cashman’s premier Real Estate Group helps clients buy, sell, develop, lease, and invest in properties in New York City and across the U.S. With decades of experience representing every type of player in the real estate market, we have handled a diverse range of transactions, and we know how to creatively structure and efficiently close virtually any real estate deal.
What We Do
Our strength lies in our ability to provide end-to-end real estate services, regardless of the size of the transaction or dispute. Our attorneys work with clients from the property acquisition, financing, or lease through any potential construction or development and final sale. We focus on mitigating risks at every turn, but we also have an experienced team of real estate litigators to resolve any disputes.
A Trusted Advisor for Transactions
Our firm’s transactional real estate work involves sales + acquisitions, development, and construction of a wide variety of commercial, residential, and retail properties throughout the U.S., from multinational corporate headquarters to multifamily apartment buildings, and from luxury condos and co-ops to warehouses and industrial space.
We also advise on matters such as equity and debt financing and leasing, including ground leases, for both landlords and tenants. Further, we resolve land use + zoning issues when they arise and serve as issuer’s and underwriter’s counsel for REITs.
Further, our real estate attorneys are particularly adept at handling real estate transactions in the fashion, hotel + hospitality, and restaurant, food + beverage industries. From establishing fashion designer flagship stores on Madison Avenue to launching new outposts of New York City’s favorite eateries, we have the know-how to provide pragmatic counsel and get the deal done right.
Leading Litigators
The firm’s real estate litigators are known for representing high-profile parties and properties across the U.S. and internationally, particularly in the hotel + hospitality sector. We have extensive experience in numerous state and federal courts, both at trial and on appeal. We also handle complex arbitrations and mediations.
Members of the Real Estate Litigation practice frequently represent landlords and tenants in disputes. For example, we successfully defended a Times Square landlord in a battle with retail giant Toys “R” Us regarding a long-term lease. Focused exclusively on real estate matters, our team of litigators gives us a strategic and tactical advantage over the competition.
