“In commercial real estate transactions, everybody has the same ultimate goal in mind – to get it done. Whether it’s an acquisition, sale, lease or financing, our goal is to get it done in the best way for them. I like helping clients achieve that.”
Behind the carefully worded lease negotiations, the financing arrangements, the due diligence or the purchase and sale agreements, veteran commercial real estate lawyer Farley Houston appreciates that his work is connected to a tangible piece of property like a shopping center, office building or hospital.
Farley guides clients through the legal intricacies of these transactions in order to help them realize their goals. He routinely works with property owners, developers, landlords, lenders and tenants on projects ranging from big box anchors to restaurants, medical offices and mixed-use developments.
With a business and finance background, Farley handles a wide range of commercial real estate work. He represents landlords and tenants nationwide in the negotiation of retail, office, industrial and medical facility leases. His practice also focuses on the acquisition, financing, development, management and disposition of commercial property, including retail, office, industrial, hospitality, medical and multi-family projects. His expertise includes setting up investor partnerships and representing lenders, loan servicers and borrowers in connection with commercial loan originations, modifications, assumptions and workouts.
