We closed a 5.9 million square-foot real estate acquisition for longtime client Arden Realty Limited Partnership. The portfolio of office buildings in the purchase spanned six West Coast markets, including San Francisco, Orange County, San Diego, Seattle, Portland and Salt Lake City. The challenging transaction involved more than two months of intensive legal work to secure the acquisition rights and perform the necessary due diligence analysis, which included a variety of real estate, land use and tax issues.
