Commercial Real Estate Financing for Development Projects

Financing and structuring decisions can affect how a real estate development is acquired, owned, built, leased, sold, or operated. 

WWMR advises clients on commercial financing transactions and related project structures that are needed to get real estate projects up and running and protect stakeholders’ investments. 

Commercial Real Estate Transactions and Financing

WWMR’s real estate lawyers in Naples have represented both institutional lenders and developers in many forms of commercial financing transactions. That dual perspective allows the firm to advise clients on how lender concerns, project structure, financing documents, and development objectives can intersect in real estate development projects.

Before ground is ever broken on a project, the right business entities and formation documents are needed to support the development structure, financing plan, and ownership strategy. 

The firm’s work in this area includes forming corporate entities and partnerships, negotiating joint venture agreements, owner participation agreements, and strategic alliances.
