Commercial Real Estate Transactions and Leasing

Acquisition and Sale of Real Property

Rarely is the transfer of property without complications, but, based on years of experience handling sophisticated commercial real estate transactions, we prepare and guide clients to anticipate, address and solve potential issues.  We handle the transfer of all types of improved and unimproved property, including office, retail, industrial, multi-family, mixed-use and recreational. From the seller’s perspective, we identify and minimize risks and expedite the closing process.  When representing purchasers, we coordinate thorough due diligence to eliminate surprises after the closing.  We advise clients on the types of permits and approvals that may be required, assist with financing, if necessary, and structure the deal to make sure the purchaser is able to use the property as intended.  We also assist buyers and sellers of real property in a variety of transactions including tax-deferred exchanges, TICs and conversions of LLCs. 

Leasing

At Porzio, we represent tenants, landlords, sublandlords, subtenants, and agents in complicated commercial leasing transactions. We have a depth of experience in all types of lease transactions, including space, ground, sub-, build-to-suit, and master leases. We take a practical approach to leasing, applying a sense of urgency and concentrating on the completion of negotiations in a timely manner while protecting clients from potential pitfalls. Because no two leases are exactly the same, our team strives to structure each transaction based on its particular characteristics. We recognize that each transaction has multiple facets, including title, zoning, organizational, environmental, and, of course, tax implications. Our team’s collective experience enables us to fulfill the objectives and fully meet the needs of our clients.
