Leasing

Leasing	Yesterday the Executive Committee voted to sublease 37 of the company’s office/retail sites. Some sites are on the ground floor of high rises in Manhattan, Atlanta and major cities. Others are in strip malls and industrial buildings in suburban locales. One’s a converted muffler shop in East Hartford.

	You want to make an offer to purchase a portfolio of 28 warehouses from a struggling REIT. If the REIT accepts, you’ll need a full spectrum of due diligence services—lease, zoning and environmental review; title policy and endorsement work; contract, warranty, estoppel and contingency removal coordination. If you close, you’ll need form documents and ongoing counsel on brokerage, leasing and other asset and property management issues.

	We enjoy the chess of leasing work. Clients bring us these kinds of projects because of the many facets of our experience——
