REAL ESTATE
The Real Estate group at Moss & Barnett is composed of seasoned, pragmatic and responsive practitioners who are pledged to protecting the legal rights of clients while working collaboratively with opposing parties to achieve ultimate closure. This practice group works regularly with developers, lenders, buyers, sellers, landlords and tenants, business owners and property management companies. We also work with title companies, surveyors, brokers, environmental consultants, appraisers and governmental entities. The services offered by our real estate group include:
Financing TransactionsSeveral of our real estate practitioners routinely represent lenders in a wide range of financing transactions for a variety of real estate projects, including construction loans, forward commitments, bridge and term loans, permanent loans, and revolving lines of credit. These transactions may include a single property or consist of a complex multiple-property pool transaction in multiple jurisdictions. Multifamily Housing FinanceOur attorneys are recognized nationally for their work in multifamily housing finance involving the closing and delivery of loans secured by multifamily projects to secondary market investors such as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. They have developed relationships with these investors and expertise in understanding evolving program requirements and documentation. These practitioners have a diverse experience in closing loans secured by multifamily product, whether it is market-rate or affordable, senior housing or assisted-living facilities, condominiums or cooperatives, new construction or rehabilitation. Clients include some of the nation’s largest real estate investment banks, national and state banking associations, and life insurance companies. National Wireless Communication ProvidersMany of our real estate lawyers work with national wireless communications providers in the acquisition and development of wireless network infrastructure, including the related electrical, fiber optic and wireline facilities to support those systems in a number of states throughout the Upper Midwest. This group also handles the acquisition, development and zoning of regional switching centers and cell site zoning, as well as the acquisition of a multitude of various real property interests acquired from other carriers. These projects include a number of issues that all developers should consider, including:
To this end, our lawyers work directly with the client’s outside environmental and acquisition consultants as well as the client’s non-lawyer employees. ExtranetIn order to perform our work efficiently, we have refined a system that uses a secure, web-based Extranet to track project status and manage document flow, without compromising confidential information. This system is available to clients on a selective basis. Attorneys in this Area
