Real estate assets don't always fall into the traditional asset classes.
If you're an innovative lender, investor or developer, you need a legal firm who have an uncommon level of experience in uncommon properties. We have an extraordinarily diverse real estate practice involving niche industries such as data centers, energy, hospitality, and timber.
Our work with data centers is a case in point. Since 1998, we have advised developers, owners, operators, lenders and tenants on matters associated with all types of data centers and were one of the first to develop a full-service team to provide counsel on the many legal facets of these mission-critical facilities.
We've worked with clients on unique projects involving theaters, sports stadiums, community assets, cultural centers, student and senior housing, single-family residential and mixed use developments surrounding major transport hubs.
Our broad experience means we can help you to see the whole picture: we regularly represent landlords and tenants, buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers. This allows us to anticipate and manage the many challenges specific to your project. Our industry-focused lawyers will always find a solution that best suits your needs and provide the support you need to make your ideas a reality.
Our lawyers are experienced in all aspects of dealing with alternative real estate assets. Our recent experience includes working with:
- a Fortune 100 technology company on the launch of a $2.5 billion fully integrated platform to develop, acquire and operate data centers
- the special servicer in the workout of a $1.2 billion securitized mortgage loan secured by a large portfolio of luxury hotels located in the United States and the Caribbean
- developers involved with both the Class A multifamily and ground-level retail components in connection with the development of The Battery at SunTrust Park, the home of the Atlanta Braves
- a renewable energy developer, owner and operator (a wholly owned subsidiary of a major US utility company) in its acquisition of a 95-MW solar generation facility in Texas
- a global operator on the acquisition of a data center in the London Docklands, and the grant of a colocation services agreement to an outsourced IT service provider
- an information management company on its acquisition of data centers in London and Singapore, and the grant of colocation leasebacks of parts of both data centers to the seller
- an English Premier League football club on the development of a stadium and other sporting facilities
