Sale & Leaseback
Benesch's Real Estate Practice Group ork with owners, investors, lenders and corporate users to structure and execute complex sale-leaseback transactions involving single assets and multistate portfolios.
These transactions are often pursued when conventional financing is not available or appropriate, allowing companies to unlock capital while retaining possession and operational control of the property through a long-term lease.
Our team advises on transactions that include equity participation and debt financing components, and we are experienced navigating sale-leasebacks involving industrial, manufacturing, office and retail assets across the United States. Clients rely on us to align business objectives with transaction structure, establish clear lease terms that support continued use of the property and maintain deal momentum from negotiation through closing.
We focus on practical execution, working closely with all parties to advance the transaction efficiently while protecting value and continuity of operations.
