Biography

Steve Cohen has overseen commercial real estate transactions for his clients, including acquisitions, dispositions, joint ventures, and debt and equity financings and restructurings, for over 35 years. He regularly represents developers, investors and sponsors in all industry classes, including office, multifamily, retail, industrial, mixed-use, hotels and raw land. As part of his transactional practice, Steve assists clients in structuring partnerships and limited liability companies, including providing advice as to economic structuring, management, exit strategies and tax considerations.

In recent years, Steve has acted as primary counsel for one of the most active purchasers of manufactured housing communities in the country, overseeing all components of that client's legal activities, including fund formation, acquisitions and financing.

Additionally, Steve focuses on the resort and hotel industry, representing owners, operators and developers.
