Redwine and Sherrill offers expertise in all phases of
development from sales or acquisition through entitlement to
leasing or purchase. The firm brings particular expertise at
"making the deal" by formulating equity partnerships, coordinating
take-out financing, and acting as the developer's representative
with the lender on acquisition and construction loan
packages.
Often the most complex, costly and time-consuming issues facing
development have little or nothing to do with the project itself,
but surround mitigation issues, such as endangered species or
extractions from local government. Redwine and Sherrill provides
counsel in these areas and has a number of special experts to
address specific areas.
For large-scale developments, the firm's background in working
with public agencies enhances their ability to assist in creating
assessment districts, and working with developers through the
entitlement process.
