Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)

Arent Fox advises and represents REITs in all aspects of their organization and business, including structuring transactions and raising capital. We represent both issuers and underwriters in capital-raising transactions for REITs. Our tax professionals are well versed in the restrictions placed on REITs regarding the assets, leases and investments they may hold.

Arent Fox has extensive experience representing REITs in all aspects of their real estate acquisitions and dispositions and credit transactions, including credit facilities, term loans and mortgage loans. Arent Fox represents REITs in structuring their joint ventures, including qualified lodging and qualified health care property arrangements. In all of these activities, Arent Fox’s tax professionals work with our REIT clients to assure that the transactions they enter into will comply with applicable restrictions on REIT assets and activities. Because of our extensive REIT experience, we effectively represent our non-REIT clients when they enter into joint ventures and other strategic relationships with REITs.
