Prince Lobel attorneys provide you innovative, diverse real estate counsel in wide-ranging areas, including commercial real estate development, acquisition, ownership, financing, leasing, and permitting.  From due diligence reviews and acquisitions, to leasing, refinancing and disposition, our team offers first-rate, cost-effective solutions.

Our clients include national developers, investors, and commercial and retail landlords and tenants, as well as owners and developers of office buildings, shopping centers, hotels, golf course developments, condominium developments and multi-family projects.

WE UNDERSTAND OUR CLIENTS’ UNIQUE BUSINESSES AND WE USE OUR KNOWLEDGE TO ADVANCE THEIR GOALS AND COMPLETE DEALS ON TIME AND ON BUDGET IN AREAS INCLUDING:

Leasing

We represent landlords and tenants in negotiations for retail, office, and industrial leases. We are especially active in working with owner/landlords to develop cost-effective, portfolio-wide leasing programs.  We also have extensive experience representing commercial tenants of every size, including both anchor and in-line retail tenants.

Sales and Acquisitions

We represent commercial sellers and buyers of suburban or downtown office buildings, shopping centers, hotels, restaurants, retail, and other commercial property.  In cooperation with our Tax Group, we represent our clients in tax-deferred transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, including transactions in which multiple properties are exchanged and financed.

Entity Formation and Financing

We represent borrowers in construction loans, conduit loans, and insurance company and commercial bank financing with regional and local banks as well as nationally recognized lenders, including large commercial loans exceeding $100 million.  We collaborate with the firm’s corporate and tax attorneys to negotiate joint venture agreements and agreements with equity investors, as well as to structure limited liability companies in the most efficient manner possible.
