Real Estate Finance

Capitalizing Real Property


Buchanan's nationally recognized real estate finance group represents banks and other financial institutions, funds, investors and developers, in structuring and closing a wide variety of real estate loans. Clients rely on our understanding of the real estate capital markets and ability to work through complex structuring issues in undertaking acquisition, development and construction loans, senior and mezzanine term loans, and tax credit financings (new market, historic and affordable housing). We understand and help establish for our lender clients market terms for syndicated credit facilities and public financings with real estate collateral.

Regardless of the size of the credit facility, we develop cost effective and practical business solutions. Recently troubled markets have generated a need for creative legal solutions, both on the front end of transactions and in restructuring, foreclosure, receiverships and workouts. Our team applies its knowledge and experience from our national lending practice to respond to the needs of our clients and to structure ownership to proactively address future financing needs.

Increasingly, we partner with members of our energy practice on the unique real estate issues involved in energy company and project financings.
