Real Estate
Real estate has become an increasingly attractive avenue for private equity firms and other sophisticated investors looking to diversify portfolios and unlock value through asset-backed investments.
Overview
Massumi + Consoli brings deep transactional experience and a business-first mindset to real estate transactions, including across the full spectrum of M&A and investment activity, delivering practical solutions tailored to each client’s investment strategy.We advise private equity sponsors, institutional investors, publicly traded REITs, developers, financial institutions, alternative lenders and other public and private investors on a wide range of complex real estate transactions and related financing matters.
Our team collaborates with other practices from across the Massumi + Consoli platform to deliver seamless counsel on every aspect of a real estate investment. Through our multidisciplinary approach, we also support our clients in matters tangential to their real estate transactions, including evaluating and addressing environmental considerations such as cleanup and remediation, permitting and development and crisis response. Finally, we stay attuned to market trends and bring a deep understanding of the nuances and complexities that shape sophisticated real estate transactions, including those involving multi-property or multi-jurisdictional portfolios.
Real Estate Transactions
We represent clients across the real estate industry in the acquisition, development, leasing, financing and disposition of real estate assets, portfolios and operating platforms. Our team advises on joint ventures, programmatic investments, recapitalizations and other strategic transactions across asset classes.
We regularly support real estate-focused investors, including private equity sponsors, REITs, developers and institutional capital sources, including sovereign funds and family offices, on deals that involve complex structuring, asset-level diligence and market-specific execution considerations.
Real Estate Financing
Our group counsels both lenders and borrowers across a broad range of real estate financing transactions, including corporate term loans and revolving credit facilities, construction financing, mortgage financing, mezzanine financing, securitization, warehousing, loan-on-loan transactions, and mortgage debt portfolio acquisitions and financings.
Real Estate in Platform & Portfolio Company Transactions
We also work with clients on transactions where real estate is a significant asset or value driver within a broader operating business, including in the context of platform acquisitions, carve-outs and add-ons in asset-heavy industries such as retail, logistics, manufacturing, healthcare, hospitality, infrastructure, energy and industrials. In such transactions, related party leasing agreements, sale-leasebacks or other bespoke real estate arrangements may represent key elements of the deal, and Massumi + Consoli teams have particular skill in balancing operational priorities with long-term value creation.

Our lawyers support clients in a wide range of complex matters, including M&A, equity investments, joint ventures, project development and financing, regulatory guidance and resolving disputes.
