Mixed-Use

Cox Castle has decades of experience representing clients in connection with the development, financing, acquisition, sale and leasing/management of mixed-use properties. We regularly represent private and public investors, owners, developers and management companies in all aspects of mixed-use development, including projects with retail, office, residential (including affordable and mixed-income multifamily property development), industrial/logistics, hotel, entertainment and resort components.

Our deep understanding of these complex projects bolsters our clients’ efforts to transition their mixed-use properties from concept phase to development and to revenue production. Our attorneys advise clients in all stages of the mixed-use investment and development process, including site assemblage and acquisition, entitlements, environmental and regulatory compliance, joint ventures, finance, insurance, tax, construction contracts, easement agreements (including REAs), CC&Rs, development and management agreements and listing agreements.

For mixed-use properties with a leasing component, our attorneys have successfully completed transactions with both national and regional retail tenants, including “big box” retailers, major power center retailers and regional mall and entertainment/lifestyle center tenants, in categories ranging from supermarkets and movie theatres to restaurants and fitness facilities and everything in between. We have negotiated virtually every type of lease, including build-to-suit, reverse build-to-suit, pad, shop and ground leases. Our unmatched experience and expertise in all facets of retail leasing allows us to structure the best terms and conditions for our clients and complete leases in a thorough, expeditious and cost-effective manner.

At Cox Castle, we closely collaborate with our client’s in-house teams, brokers, architects, surveyors and consultants, as well as local governmental officials and staff, to ensure our clients meet their business objectives.
