• Leased to national brands such as Starbucks, Regal Theatres, JCPenney, and U.S. Bank, alongside a wide range of local businesses.

Problem-Solver for Complex Situations

• Experience resolving environmental issues and energy-efficiency challenges that impact value and operating performance.
• Specialized background representing landlords through national tenant bankruptcies and complex lease restructurings.
• Track record that includes helping win a federal lawsuit over a land taking and achieving significant tax appeal savings for clients.
