Sacks & Imir LLP represents landlords and tenants of urban retail buildings, strip shopping centers, community shopping centers, power centers, enclosed malls and mixed use projects of all sizes and varieties. Our clients range from NYSE REIT’s to regional developers to chain stores to family owned businesses. Our attorneys draw on years of experience in completing leases with parties of differing leverage in resolving virtually every issue that could arise in a lease.
In particular, we focus on construction, rent commencement and other business points which translate directly to the bottom line. We capitalize on our extensive experience representing contractors, project managers, owners and tenants in construction and work letters to add value for our clients.
We have structured, drafted and negotiated hundreds of anchor tenant leases, in-line leases, subleases, master leases, outparcel leases, work letters, SNDA’s, ground lessor recognition agreements, landlord lien waiver/collateral assignments, franchisor recognition agreements and other agreements incident to the retail leasing process. We have negotiated guaranties of all types, including unlimited guaranties and good guy, rolling and other limited guaranties, and letters of credit and other credit enhancement techniques. We have handled long-term unsubordinated ground leases representing both the lessee/operator and the fee owner/lessor. We have structured lease termination/buy out agreements with and without option provisions from both the landlord and tenant perspective.
