Commercial Real Estate
Our Carruthers & Roth commercial real estate team has deep bench strength and a high level of experience in a broad range of property types – from retail, office and industrial to senior living, multifamily and mixed use. We routinely provide lenders, developers and contractors with prompt counsel personalized to their needs, whether they are buying, selling or developing a property, negotiating a lease or wrestling with other complex issues. We frequently represent clients in commercial real estate projects across the U.S., coupling our strengths with local resources.
We offer one-stop access to comprehensive resources, including team members experienced in acquisitions and sales, environmental issues, leasing, property development, finance, title claims and disputes, and zoning and land use regulations. That means quicker closings and a prompter response to your issues and concerns.
In addition to working with in-state clients, we frequently serve as local counsel for national lenders, title insurance companies and other attorneys completing transactions in North Carolina.
