Representative Experience
- Representation of a [Fortune 50 global healthcare company] as the tenant in connection with a large industrial lease and related development documentation for $1 billion investment in new logistics facility within a master-planned, multi-parcel industrial and logistics campus in Florida. Lead the negotiation and documentation of a complex build-to-suit lease, work letter, and related development agreements, including expansion rights, purchase rights, operating expense allocation, utility and infrastructure issues, environmental matters, title and survey review, easements, and financing-related lease provisions. The project involved airport-adjacent property in a multi-building industrial campus and required analysis of aviation authority easements, access rights, utility infrastructure, and development easements, covenants, and restrictions affecting multiple parcels and facilities.
- Representation of a national industrial user in connection with a heavily negotiated amendment to a long-term distribution facility lease and tenant estoppel following negotiation and execution of the original lease transaction. The engagement focused on construction and delivery obligations, tenant improvement issues, project delays, cost allocation, operational requirements, sale profit share, and expansion and purchase-related matters, requiring coordination among the tenant, developer, construction team, lenders, brokers, buyer, and other stakeholders.
- Representation of a large corporate client in connection with the disposition of land for a mixed-use infill redevelopment adjacent to its headquarters campus, including negotiation of the purchase and sale transaction, easements, parking and access agreements, design and construction review rights, lender and City-related matters, and other post-closing agreements. The matter required coordination among property owners, developers, lenders, architects, engineers, title, environmental and other due diligence professionals, and the City regarding construction impacts, shared infrastructure, access and parking rights, structural support and building interface issues, ongoing maintenance obligations, and risk and cost allocation among multiple stakeholders.
