Joint Ventures: Your Gateway to Real Estate Growth

Representative Matters

• Represented an institutional investor in a $600M+ mixed-use development in California, including over 700 residential units and 75,000 square feet of retail. The capital stack involved a senior construction loan, mezzanine financing, preferred equity, and a joint venture equity investment. Our team advised on the joint venture structure and negotiated complex intercreditor and recognition agreements across multiple tiers of capital.
• Represented a global asset manager in the sale and refinancing of a multi-state industrial portfolio, involving 12 properties across Ohio, California, and Missouri. The transaction included loan assumptions, new debt financings, and a contribution of assets into a new joint venture. The deal required intricate tax structuring and coordination among multiple parties to achieve liquidity and long-term financing goals.
• Represented the equity provider in the formation of a joint venture for the acquisition and development of a 300+ unit Class A multifamily project. Our team handled all aspects of the transaction, including joint venture agreements, development management, construction contracts, loan documentation, and acquisition structuring for tax efficiency.
• Represented a joint venture in a 650,000 square foot industrial lease in Texas, part of a broader 23-state portfolio. Our team regularly negotiates over a million square feet of industrial leases, including recent deals with national logistics and manufacturing tenants across multiple states.
