In 2007, we closed over 80 real estate transactions, including over
40 HUD projects. The firm members specialize in representing
project owners and lenders in the nationwide financing of the
construction, acquisition, refinance and transfer of multifamily
housing and health care projects utilizing conventional financing,
HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, CalHFA, conduit loan programs, tax
credit enhancements and bond financing by local housing authorities,
cities, counties and state agencies. The firm also has substantial
experience working on troubled projects and loan workout issues, as
well as representing project owners in disputes with HUD and CalFHA.
We have handled
financing and acquisition transactions in most segments of the real
estate industry, including multi-family developments, health care
facilities, raw land, industrial sites, residential condominiums, office
buildings, community developments, shopping centers, and regional and
local malls. The firm has
substantial experience in development, financing and acquisition of real
property, commercial transactions, business law, and the formation of
and advising ownership entities. We represent a broad range of clients,
from publicly traded companies to small entrepreneurial entities, on
transactions both in California and throughout the United States.
The firm has been
approved as a consultant for non-profit HUD Section 811 and 202 projects
and has represented nonprofit and tax credit developers under the
existing tax credit programs throughout the country. As an example of
our involvement in housing, the firm was involved in shaping the federal
legislation under the Low Income Housing Preservation Resident
Homeownership Act (LIHPRHA) and federal legislation that offered tenant
based enhanced vouchers to the elderly and provided owners with market
rate rent increases.
Members of the
firm have been featured as speakers at conferences held by HUD Lenders,
the American Bar Association (ABA), and the National Association of
Housing Management Agents (NAHMA). We are committed to providing
legal services of the highest quality to our clients. In this endeavor,
we are strengthened by experienced, able attorneys, excellent support
staff and the advantages of the most up-to-date technological equipment.
