Through decades of real estate practice and industry experience Eversheds Sutherland developed a diverse and sophisticated mixed use practice. We represent all segments of the industry, including developers, lenders and investors, with purchase, sale, financing and leasing transactions in major markets across the United States. We work with private equity groups, pension funds and their advisors who invest in mixed use properties via acquisitions, joint ventures and participating mortgage financing. We also represent banks that are construction lenders for mixed use projects.
We see all the different facets of real estate transactions and understand the different types of ownership structures that a mixed use project can take, as well as the ramifications that different approaches can have on the short-term and future success of a project. We focus on what it takes to get a deal done; understand our clients’ goals and don’t get bogged down in the unimportant aspects.
