REAL ESTATE FUND FORMATION
Telephone No.212.457.9797
The Dilendorf Law Firm advises clients on the establishment and operation of real estate investment funds and all aspects of fund formation, operations, and governance. Our knowledge and expertise in establishing real estate funds includes all facets of US and non-US sponsor representation, including onboarding, tax planning, and guidance after the launch.
In its simplest form, a real estate private equity fund allows the partners involved to raise equity for ongoing real estate investments by utilizing benefits of diversified holdings and buying power to alleviate risk. A sponsor, or general partner, initiates and creates the fund, and requests investors, or limited partners, to provide equity for the partnership. Establishing such a fund involves navigating various regulatory complexities, tax situations and business challenges.
The Dilendorf Law Firm advises established and emerging real estate investment fund managers on all aspects of this process. Our practice is made up of experienced attorneys who have structured numerous real estate funds, utilizing various investment strategies, structures, and jurisdictions.
Our firm will recommend the best ways to diversify and expand funding sources to allow for greater deal flow, resulting in reduced risk exposure and more favorable terms from lenders. When properly executed, the private equity structure of real estate investment funds can provide significant rewards for the sponsor.
