Real Estate

Lawyers in Fuchs & Roselli’s Real Estate Group have represented clients in transactions involving office, industrial, commercial, retail and multi-unit residential property. Those transactions have included traditional financing, commercial mortgage backed security (CMBS) and mezzanine financing, as well as different levels of equity participation to acquire a property in the most cost-effective manner. We also perform due diligence reviews of title, survey, environmental, zoning and other aspects of a property to advise clients on all aspects of an acquisition.

In almost every commercial real estate transaction it is necessary to create an entity to acquire a property. The selection and structure of that entity will impact the control of the management of the property as well as tax and financing issues. We work closely with client sot identify their goals and offer creative solutions through the use of partnerships, limited liability corporations (LLCs), joint ventures and other legal vehicles to create an entity that addresses management, financing and tax goals.

It is important to develop lease agreements that represent long-term relationships between a tenant and landlord and that do not have any room for interpretation. The goal should always be to provide certainty and predictability to all parties involved. Such agreements are made possible with the assistance of an attorney, and will add value to your property.

For financing, our attorneys work with institutional lenders in financing real estate acquisitions and asset-based lending secured by the equipment, inventory and other assets of a company to provide funds for working capital, expansion and other corporate goals. Here again, attorneys are capable of drafting in-depth loan documents that very clearly state the responsibilities of all parties involved. Attorneys can also perform thorough investigations of assets being used as collateral to ensure clients are receiving proper collateral for their loans.
