Real estate developers operate in a challenging business environment. Each deal is different, with its own tax considerations and its own complexities. Every transaction presents an opportunity. That’s why developers are considered a special breed of entrepreneur. It’s also why so many of them work with Katz, Sapper & Miller.
Our Real Estate Services Group has the professional advisors trusted by more real estate developers in Indiana than any other firm. In fact, our real estate practice is one of the largest in the country.
On one end of the spectrum, we work with full-service real estate companies that are national and even international in scope, but we also work with local, single-asset developers, and everyone in between. We’ve helped lead companies through successful IPOs and other complex transactions, including acquisitions, refinancings and sales, UPREITs and DownREITs.
KSM has long been a leader in helping developers implement the best tax strategies for business growth. Our consulting services provide the added value that many clients seek.
Our depth of expertise allows us to anticipate needs and offer solutions that clients might not have considered. Our team of national-level talent excels at helping to structure partnership agreements and advising on major business decisions. Our clients say they want us in the room when they make important moves.
We’re members of such professional organizations as the Urban Land Institute (ULI), National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), the Apartment Association of Indiana, and the Center for Real Estate Studies at Indiana University. We’re constantly upgrading our knowledge so we’re always prepared to serve our clients better.
