White Plains, NY Real Estate Lawyers Experienced in Managing Complex Transactions

The firm’s Real Estate practice group has advised clients ranging from individual real estate investors to large national and multinational companies on some of the most impactful and novel commercial real estate developments in Westchester County, the Hudson Valley and surrounding areas. Working closely with the firm’s other practice areas, including its Land Use and Commercial Finance practice groups, our Real Estate attorneys have extensive experience counseling developers, builders, tenants, contractors, subcontractors, landlords, and other users of real property regarding the acquisition, development, construction, finance, leasing, operation, and disposition of all types of real estate, including specialty property, office, residential, hotel, industrial, condominium, mixed-use, and retail properties. From contract to closing, our lawyers have been involved in projects that have transformed the skyline of cities such as White Plains, New Rochelle, Yonkers, and other areas in and around Westchester County.

An aspect of our real estate acquisitions practice that sets us apart from our competitors is the complexity of the transactions we are able to handle. While we regularly represent clients in connection with relatively straightforward real estate acquisitions and sales, we also have the capabilities required to manage extraordinarily complex transactions involving intricate joint ventures, purpose-driven deal structuring, multiple financing entities and classes, and multiple legal and regulatory issues. By being able to proactively identify potential legal and regulatory concerns, we are able to help our clients make informed decisions during the due diligence process, and we are able to help our clients overcome hurdles before they jeopardize closing.

About Our Real Estate Acquisitions Practice

We provide full-service legal representation for clients pursuing real estate acquisitions and other real estate-related transactions in Westchester County. The firm’s services in this area include structuring, negotiating, and drafting:

Acquisition and sales contracts – Acquisition and sales contracts are the core legal documents in real estate transfers. As a result, it is critical that they are both carefully drafted and thoroughly negotiated. We rely on decades of relevant experience to draft and negotiate these contracts for our clients.
Construction agreements—We have similar experience drafting and negotiating all types of construction agreements for real estate development projects in Westchester County. We represent property owners, construction companies, subcontractors, and other entities in construction agreement negotiations.
Ground leases and sale/leaseback transactions – Ground leases and sale/leaseback transactions are unique real estate deals that require a knowledgeable and forward-thinking approach. Here, too, the lawyers in our Real Estate Acquisitions practice group rely on extensive experience to negotiate and secure favorable terms for our clients.
Joint venture agreements – Joint ventures allow partnering entities to leverage their collective capabilities and resources to achieve outsized results. But, to avoid unnecessary issues down the line, a carefully drafted and negotiated joint venture agreement is critical.
Commercial condominium creation and documentation – The creation of commercial condominiums has increasingly become useful vehicles in the division and structuring of real estate interests and requires both strategic planning and coordination with governmental agencies. Our lawyers are adept in the conceptualization, approval and execution of commercial condominium structures.
Reciprocal easement agreements – Reciprocal easement agreements are also unique transactions that require a deep understanding of not only the nature of the transaction itself but also the governing law in New York. Our lawyers offer the insights our clients need to enter into these agreements with confidence.
Real estate financing documents – We draft, review, and negotiate real estate financing documents for our clients as well. From conventional commercial real estate loans to complex multi-party financing arrangements, we have seen—and negotiated—it all when it comes to real estate financing for acquisitions and development projects in Westchester County.
Real estate leasing and operations – Our attorneys offer expert advice in all aspects of real estate leasing for both landlords and tenants of real property, as well as in connection with the ongoing management and operational needs of real estate assets once placed into service.
Real estate contracts for renewable energy projects – Our attorneys have significant experience in the negotiation of all manner of real estate contracts for renewable energy projects, with a focus on solar projects in New York, New Jersey and other jurisdictions.

Clients should be aware that there is more to real estate development than just knowing the law. It takes knowledge of local government, sensitivity to the needs of affected communities, an understanding of finance, and an ability to coordinate these efforts to accomplish a successful real estate development project – that’s why so many of the major real estate development projects in the region over the past 20 years have been accomplished by DelBello Donnellan Weingarten Wise & Wiederkehr. We have longstanding relationships with many of our clients, and we take pride in serving as go-to legal counsel for clients who routinely have complex and high-stakes real estate-related legal needs.
