Major Real Estate Projects
We provide a comprehensive service on major projects spanning
many years from conception to disposal (where relevant). Our
role often starts with negotiation of purchase and redevelopment
documents (where relevant), strategic planning and zoning
advice. We advise as to the best structures through which to
develop and hold projects to deliver operational and tax
efficiency, the maximum liquidity where required, compliance with
local law and land ownership restrictions and workable joint
venture terms, as well as advising on appropriate
procurement/entitlement strategies.
We have extensive experience in the funding of major projects
for developers, owners, operators and investors from development
finance to longer term investment finance. We understand the
needs of a wide variety of major projects, from urban mixed-use
projects to utility and transportation developments.
We recognize the need for major projects to adapt to changing
markets, occupier and tenant requirements, the challenges of
today’s financial restructurings and evolving investor
requirements. We have the creativity and breadth of
understanding to play a material role in facilitating such
change.
Most major projects involve formal and informal partnerships
between the private sector promoters and governmental bodies.
They require the delivery of infrastructure and involve significant
consultation with affected stakeholders. We have the skills
and resources to facilitate this process. Our experience in
delivering both commercial structures and infrastructure throughout
the developed and developing world, together with extensive work we
have undertaken for private owners, governmental bodies and quasi
governmental bodies both as clients and as partners to our clients,
provides us with the insight and understanding.
We have the breadth of experience and depth of resource to
deliver these demanding but ultimately uniquely rewarding
projects.
