Commercial Real Estate Development and Transactions
Our real estate attorneys in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky represent developers, investors, business owners, lenders, and property owners in transactions of all sizes.
We assist with acquisitions, sales, development projects, due diligence, entity structuring, and closings involving every class of real estate including office, retail, industrial, mixed-use, multifamily, and hospitality properties. Whether you're acquiring a single property or managing a multi-state portfolio, our team works to identify issues early, negotiate effectively, and keep your transaction on track.
Real Estate Financing
Financing is often where opportunities are won or lost.
For decades, Strauss Troy has represented both lenders and borrowers in real estate financing transactions. Our team regularly assists with commercial loans, refinancing, secured lending, debt restructuring, HUD-related financing, and other complex financing arrangements.
Because of our experience on both sides of the table, we understand what lenders need, what borrowers are trying to accomplish, and how to move deals toward closing efficiently.
Leasing and Property Operations
A well-drafted lease can prevent costly disputes and protect long-term value.
We represent landlords, tenants, developers, and property managers in office, retail, industrial, and residential leasing matters. Beyond lease negotiations, we help clients address operational issues, property management concerns, and disputes that arise after a deal is completed.
Our goal is simple: help clients protect their investments while keeping their properties productive.
Zoning, Land Use, and Development Approvals
Development projects often depend on obtaining the right approvals from local governments and regulatory agencies.
Our attorneys regularly help clients navigate zoning issues, land use matters, subdivision approvals, planning requirements, variances, and related regulatory concerns throughout Ohio and Kentucky. Working closely with municipalities and project stakeholders, we help clients address challenges early and avoid unnecessary delays.
