DEVELOPMENT OF A MIXED-USE OFFICE AND RETAIL PROJECT Factual situation: Your client has located a downtown Chicago parcel which it wishes to acquire. The client proposes to construct a mixed-use office, garage and retail facility on the site. The client has not decided whether to seek a joint venture partner to provide capital and/or other resources for the project. The client also has not decided whether it should hold the improved property as a long-term investment, or sell all or a portion of it to an institutional investor after it is built and leased. You have been asked to represent the client in all aspects of the development. |
