Real Estate

Shopping Center, Retail & Mixed-Use

Shopping center owners and operators, and retailers of all sizes are preparing for markedly different space in the future due to new technology, reduction in size of stock rooms, and mounting pressure for same-day delivery. 

"Excellent real estate lawyers who provide practical commercial advice."

- General Counsel, International Shopping Center Operator

EXPERIENCE

We regularly represent shopping center owners, developers and operators, local and national asset management companies, as well as retailers, tenants and those who finance and invest in retail projects. We provide services in all aspects of shopping center, retail and mixed-use projects including: purchase and sale, leasing, financing, development, environmental, litigation, and tax.

Retail development and operations are a cornerstone of Allen Matkins' practice. From new development to urban infill and mixed-use, we work on the full spectrum of retail projects. We assist clients with the unique issues associated with the acquisition, disposition, leasing, construction, development, redevelopment, land use, creation of CC&Rs, financing, and management (including litigation with tenants and representation in connection with tenant bankruptcies). Our clients have projects across the country ranging from stand-alone sites and community neighborhood shopping centers to power retail centers and super regional malls. We complete transactions faster and more efficiently because we understand the retail and shopping center market.
