Representative Experience
- Advised a large, family-owned developer in connection with development of several apartment complexes in Oregon and Washington including advice regarding the entitlement process, access agreements and addressing wetlands mitigation issues.
- Served on a counsel team on sale and acquisition transactions totaling $300+ million for a client operating assisted living, memory care and independent care campuses in Washington, Oregon, and California. These complex transactions involved sales to a publicly traded REIT and acquisition of 11 single-tenant, triple net lease properties, and licensed senior housing facilities and 1031 tax-deferred exchanges. The triple net lease replacement properties are medical, industrial and retail properties located in Texas, South Carolina, Virginia, Colorado, Illinois, and Arizona. This was a high-level, complex transaction because of the relationship between the health care sales and the tax-deferred exchange acquisitions.
- Represented a health care company in connection with the acquisition of a distressed property and navigating the land use approval process to modify and expand the facility.
- Advised a local developer in connection with acquisition and entitlement of real property for home sites.
