Commercial Real Estate Transactions

All types of commercial real estate transactions are handled within the firm. We have experience working with lenders, individual and corporate owners, and developers involved in varied projects including shopping centers, office buildings, educational institutions, research parks and industrial facilities.

In the higher education area, we have:

• Secured partial state funding for construction of Syracuse University's 50,000 seat Carrier Dome, and was involved in all aspects of the existing stadium demolition; architectural, engineering, and construction contracts for the new stadium; and the complete environmental review process for the new stadium (from the draft EIS through the successful litigation and appeal of all environmental objections); all completed on time and on budget in 26 months.
• Handled all aspects of the construction of a campus Hotel Conference Center, financed and built by the developer, under a long-term ground lease from Syracuse University.
