Real Estate Joint Ventures
Crafting Complex and Effective Arrangements
In today’s opportunistic commercial real estate market, the appeal and necessity of real estate joint ventures continue to bring together sponsors, capital partners, co-investors, LPs, and other stakeholders across asset classes. Our extensive experience structuring, negotiating, and drafting these joint ventures, including complex multi-tier structures, property contributions, programmatic joint ventures, recapitalizations, and co-GP arrangements, allows us to counsel our clients through any venture transaction so they can focus on how best to minimize risk and exposure while maximizing returns and tax efficiencies. We bring that experience to bear in setting up practical, realistic documents that allow the parties to achieve their goals efficiently, with minimum conflict between stakeholders. We understand the perspective of all parties in these relationships, and work alongside our clients to navigate partnership matters throughout the transaction lifecycle.
