David’s practice focuses on commercial real estate throughout the United States involving the development, financing, construction, acquisition, leasing, management and sale of multifamily apartments, retail, office, industrial, mixed-use and planned residential communities (including townhomes, condominiums and single-family detached homes). He represents companies, investors, developers and individuals in single asset, portfolio, joint venture and syndicated transactions. David further assists clients with the formation and negotiation of corporate governance documents for limited liability companies and other business organizations, and he has extensive experience with the sale of real property by fiduciaries of estates, guardianships, trusts and receiverships.
