Real Estate

Our expertise is based on our outstanding track record. KSM has worked with developers and investors on some of the largest and most complex real estate deals in the country, so we know our way around the bargaining table. We have helped lead companies through successful IPOs, acquisitions, refinancings and sales, UPREITs, and DownREITs.

Facing Industry Challenges Head-On

The real estate industry is competitive, fast-paced, and facing a particularly uncertain economic environment. Developers, investors, and owners must constantly seek out new forms of cash flow and look for ways to maximize operating income and asset values, all while identifying the next right opportunity. It’s a challenging time.

KSM’s real estate professionals have the experience you need to navigate these challenges and more. With more than 200 years of combined experience, our real estate professionals are able to anticipate needs and offer solutions that clients might not have considered.

Solutions That Build Profitability

Through our suite of tax and consulting services, KSM’s real estate professionals can help you achieve your goals.

From assisting with sophisticated tax structuring such as deferred like-kind exchanges and REITs, to consulting – and often serving as the chief negotiator – on various incentive programs, including Qualified Opportunity Zones, cost segregation, and state and local economic development incentives, we are able to help clients maximize the value of a deal.

Additionally, we provide audits and other assurance services for real estate properties and portfolios of properties, including equity investment funds; current-value financial statements; review of lease agreements and negotiations; lender and loan workout negotiations and analysis; valuation of partnership interests; portfolio analysis; loan proposals and loan packages; intra-family wealth transfers; cost certifications and related reporting for low-income housing credit properties; and more.
