Commercial real estate (CRE) is income-producing property used solely for business, rather than for residential, purposes. Examples include retail malls, shopping centers, office buildings and hotels. The financing process for the acquisition, construction and development of commercial properties via major lending institutions or private investors is often time complex. Our Commercial Real Estate Practice team will negotiate loan terms and help you choose the best options according to the specifics of your commercial project. We can also guide you through all stages of construction and development including agreements with contractors, commercial leases and subleases with major tenants, purchase and sale of portions or entire properties, lease of equipment, employment agreements, and independent contractor agreements.
