Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

King & Spalding’s REIT practice provides comprehensive solutions to clients across the full spectrum of REIT-related transactions, including the following:

  • public offerings (e.g., IPOs, follow-on offerings, notes offerings)
  • fund formation (i.e., the formation of private capital to invest in real estate assets, including open-end, closed-end and separate account vehicles)
  • finance transactions (e.g., credit facilities, term loans, mortgage financings, CMBS)
  • mergers and acquisitions involving public and private REITs
  • asset level and portfolio acquisitions
  • implementation of exit strategies such as divestitures and recapitalizations

Our breadth of experience extends to both private and public REIT work. This dual-track approach enables us to handle the full range of complex – and frequently cross-border – REIT transactions, including significant recapitalizations, M&A, formation of investment funds organized as private REITs, and a host of other complex equity and debt financing transactions.
