Real Estate

Lemery Greisler maintains an extraordinarily active and expanding real estate practice that serves a diversity of clients and supports all other disciplines and practitioners of the firm. The Firm’s attorneys assist clients in all aspects of a given project, from initial site acquisition, through the land use planning and governmental approval process, including offering plans, financing, marketing and management. In addition to all forms of transactional real estate work, the Firm’s real estate practice involves a broad range of activities that support developers of all kinds of real estate projects, large and small, including the following:

• Apartment complexes
• Residential housing subdivisions
• Office buildings
• Shopping centers
• Manufacturing and industrial facilities
• Hotels
• Hydroelectric projects
• Resort properties

For its banking and finance clients, the Firm’s real estate practice routinely involves documenting and closing transactions in which the primary collateral is real estate.  Clients, which include national, regional and community banks, certified SBA lenders and local development agencies, present institutional needs and financing programs to which the Firm’s attorneys tailor documentation and closing procedures.

The Firm’s real estate practice is augmented by its attorneys’ expertise in the areas of real estate title examination and insurance. One of the Firm’s attorneys, Charles B. Dumas, is counsel for Chicago Title Insurance Company, and with that experience the Firm brings a high level of talent to efficiently resolve in-house the inevitable issues that arise with regard to real estate.

Recently, the Firm has structured and secured requisite municipal approvals from the Towns of Malta and Stillwater, New York for the Luther Forest Technology Campus and from the Town of Greenfield, New York for the redevelopment of the Saratoga Polo grounds.
