For nearly 30 years, Jay has dedicated his practice to representing local, national and international developers, landlords, retailers and businesses in complex retail, office, and warehouse leasing, management and development. Through his years of experience, he has acquired an in-depth understanding of the needs and desires of both parties to a transaction which allows him to find common ground and creative solutions to resolve issues while at the same time achieving his clients’ objectives and protecting their interests.
Jay’s practice is national in scope and runs the gamut of commercial properties, including flagship stores, street retail, super-regional and regional shopping centers, mixed-use properties, life-style centers, power centers, and office and warehouse buildings. He has a unique focus on the fashion and luxury arena, but he also handles general retail, restaurant, office and warehouse leasing, management and development for his clients.
In addition to drafting and negotiating leases and ancillary documents, he has developed both landlord and tenant lease forms, counseled clients on legalities and risks associated with operating issues, performed due diligence in connection with acquisitions, and overseen high-volume, time-sensitive lease-up projects for new developments.
