Corporate Real Estate
Arnold & Porter has a wide-ranging practice advising clients on corporate real estate matters. We represent a broad cross section of companies in the acquisition, disposition, development, design, construction (including build-to-suits), financing, sale and joint venturing of their operating real estate assets. These matters frequently involve special use properties located throughout the country, such as company headquarters projects, lab and research buildings, data centers, and healthcare, warehouse and manufacturing facilities.
Our team helps clients develop and implement effective strategies to maximize value, enhance flexibility, manage risk, and navigate the complex contractual and legal relationships that their matters demand. We perform due diligence on existing holdings and potential projects and assist with the structuring of transactions and the negotiation of legal documents, including letters of intent; brokerage agreements; leases; subleases; guaranties; development agreements; ground leases; joint venture agreements; design and construction agreements; easements; loan documents; and title documents.
Our clients include Fortune 500 companies in the life sciences, healthcare, technology, financial services, and manufacturing industries, among others.
