AZ Big Media: Top 9 Commercial RE Law Firms In The Valley + Issues

Top 9 commercial real estate law firms in the Valley

Posted May 31, 2017 by David McGlothlin

When the development of a new project comes to a halt, attorneys specializing in real estate get to work in addressing the problem and finding the best path to an effective solution.

In an industry where the problems can be as diverse and complex as the solutions, finding the right commercial real estate law firm for a particular set of needs can be half the battle.
To help, AZRE identified some of the Valley’s top commercial real estate law firms and asked experts from each to elaborate on their firm’s real estate practice and issues facing commercial development.
Blogger's Note: Please go the above underlined link to see what issues are important for these developers - among them are

• increased government regulations of land use,
• neighborhood opposition,
• the increasing cost of development 
• the unpredictable nature of zoning approvals
• AZ does not allow tax increment financing (TIF)
• there remains uncertainty as to what types of incentives a municipality can provide for real estate development
• relationship between the public and private sectors with regard to development
• increasing costs and availability of labor and materials, and the corresponding cost of construction; the pros, cons, benefits and challenges of infill development; infrastructure availability and cost; flexibility in financing; and finding the marketplace’s balance between supply and demand.” 

 

Berry Riddell berryriddell.com Wendy Riddell, Founding partner

NOTEABLE WORK: After two other zoning attorneys tried and failed, the team at Riddell fought for nearly two years, and eventually won approval for rezoning a parcel of land to become an auto dealership in Mesa. Faced with passionate neighborhood opposition, the site plan was reworked eight times to suit the needs of the developer and accommodate the neighbors’ wishes.

 

Buchalter Nemer buchalter.com Paul Weiner, Managing partner at Scottsdale office

NOTEABLE WORK: The firm negotiated a single-building lease transaction for over 200,000 square feet for an office building landlord that involved getting the existing tenant to vacate the space sooner than it had anticipated while simultaneously negotiating for the purchase of a co-landlord’s interest in the building and the subsequent closing of escrow in regard to that purchase.

 

Burch & Cracchiolo bcattorneys.com Ed Bull, President

NOTEABLE WORK: “The repurposing and integrated redevelopment of The Henry Restaurant and Fox Restaurant Group’s corporate headquarters within a previously vacant building on Camelback Road, east of 44th Street in Phoenix, which included a wide variety of zoning-related entitlements, leasing and other real estate matters that are among the necessary and sometimes tedious, but always fulfilling, challenges of infill redevelopment.”

 

Clark Hill clarkhill.com Douglas Folk, Member of construction law group
NOTEABLE WORK: “We are quite experienced in putting together design/build teams that are able to fast track a project on the client’s schedule. Clients retain Clark Hill for representation for their commercial real estate needs because we take the time to understand their needs, define the development objectives, and then provide the right mix of services for a successful project.”

Fennemore Craig fclaw.com Joe Chandler, Director and chair of real estate practice group
NOTEABLE WORK: The OdySea Aquarium, a 200,000-square-foot oceanic and freshwater aquarium, containing two levels and holding 2,000,000 gallons of water, which is the largest aquarium in the southwest and located on the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community.
Acquisition, entitlement, development, financing, and operation of a full-service boutique resort located in Paradise Valley, consisting of 175 hotel rooms, 31 hotel-condominium units, a restaurant, market, fitness facility and the rehabilitated Mountain Shadow Executive Golf Course, which will include single-family homes and villas.

 

Gammage & Burnham gblaw.com Grady Gammage, Jr., Founding member
NOTEABLE WORK: For nearly 40 years, the firm has been deeply involved with the development around Tempe Town Lake, which started with a public/private partnership that helped finance and build the lake and led to the development of Hayden Ferry Lakeside, the initial Marina Heights PAD, Papago Park Center, Tempe Marketplace, Playa del Norte and multifamily developments by SunCor, Pulte, Lennar and others.

Jennings, Strouss & Salmon jsslaw.com Bruce May, Chair of real estate department
NOTEABLE WORK: Most recently, the firm represented a client in the multi-million-dollar purchase of a large golf club in Arizona, a transaction that involved, among other tasks, complex taxes, lending and corporate issues, including mezzanine financing and the commercial lease of an office building by the purchaser.

NOTEABLE WORK: “Quarles & Brady represents Liberty Property Trust in the acquisition, development and leasing of Liberty Center at Rio Salado in Tempe, which is located on an 80-plus acre construction landfill site formerly owned by the City of Tempe.

Reporting 101: Just Ask: Two Reporters' Questions About Lobbying In Phoenix

Arizona attorney general investigating Phoenix law firm's falsified lobbying documents

Arizona Republic reporters Dustin Gardiner, Rob O'Dell and Richard Ruelas discuss Phoenix's recent efforts to crack down on lobbyists and how it will affect residents, city government and the media.

Published 6:00 a.m. MT May 31, 2017 | Updated 3 hours ago 

"The Arizona Attorney General's Office is conducting a criminal investigation into an incident in which a high-profile law firm filed falsified documents with the city of Phoenix.

In January, The Arizona Republic reported the firm Burch & Cracchiolo had violated the city’s lobbying ordinance and had filed falsified documents to make it appear it had complied.
The firm, a presence in Phoenix's legal community for decades, later withdrew those documents. Firm President Ed Bull said the documents were prepared by a non-attorney staffer.
On Tuesday, the Attorney General’s Office confirmed the matter is the subject of a criminal probe. However, the office would not release details about the status or scope of the inquiry.
“All I can confirm is our criminal division is investigating the matter,” Mia Garcia, spokeswoman for Attorney General Mark Brnovich, said in an email in response to a question about whether the office has investigated the falsified documents. “We can’t comment any further.”
Burch & Cracchiolo declined to comment about the investigation.

• The new investigation into the law firm is the second probe involving the city of Phoenix publicly confirmed by the attorney general in the past two weeks.
• The first involved Councilman Michael Nowakowski, who is accused of not properly disclosing a conflict of interest in a deal involving the sale of a prime piece of city-owned land. He has denied any wrongdoing.

Phoenix officials began scrutinizing the lobbyist registration status of Burch & Cracchiolo and another lobbyist earlier this year.
The issue arose after a City Council vote on a controversial proposal to pay a developer about $1.2 million for storm-water culverts built on private property in Ahwatukee Foothills. The council denied that request.

But two lobbyists for the developer who sought to influence council members drew attention afterward.
The developer had hired lobbyists who, according to the city, weren't registered. Those lobbyists were lawyer Bull and political consultant Joe Villasenor, a former city staffer.

> Phoenix city code requires paid lobbyists to register, disclose their clients and disclose campaign contributions or gifts they give to elected officials.
The intent is to provide transparency.
The law firm had not registered since 2014, and Villasenor was last registered as a lobbyist in 2011, city officials said in January.
At first, Burch & Cracchiolo insisted it had complied with the city’s lobbyist-reporting rules. The firm filed a signed affidavit with the City Clerk's Office contending it had submitted nine separate filings over the past two years, which would have put the firm in compliance with the city.
Holm, the city attorney, said those documents were falsified and backdated.

Catch 22 for Navajo Coal???

Studies on Navajo coal plant’s future poles apart

Posted by Staff  /  May 28, 2017 

By Emery Cowan | Arizona Daily Sun

Source: http://roselawgroupreporter.com

As tribal lawmakers, federal agencies and private industry continue to work out a plan for the future of Navajo Generating Station near Page, energy analysts have come up with their own assessments of the economic viability of the power plant. While they present a range of conclusions, many cast doubt on the future profitability of the coal-fired power plant.

Rebutting those bleaker predictions is a report commissioned by Peabody Energy, the sole supplier of coal to NGS. The report, produced by Navigant Consulting, contends that continuing operations at the plant would be economically viable through 2040 and is hundreds of millions of dollars cheaper than finding an alternative source of power into the future. . .  
A nearly polar opposite perspective comes from two other studies, one commissioned by the environmental nonprofit Sierra Club and another conducted by the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, an organization that promotes sustainable energy. They contend Navigant's analysis had nearly $2 billion in errors and that the coal-fired power plant would actually need up to $2.4 billion in subsidies to continue operating until 2030.

Meanwhile, current plant operator Salt River Project has done its own analysis that concludes continuing to operate the power plant was a money-losing venture. The three other utility owners of the power plant came to the same conclusion, leading to their decision to end their stakes in NGS at the end of 2019. . . "

. . . The owners themselves are also facing hefty costs to decommission and remove the power plant. Hummel said initial estimates from engineers put the cost at $150 million. The owners are already looking at another $70 million in additional costs to keep the plant open until 2019. The utilities have stated that the alternative of continuing participation in NGS beyond 2019 would have cost their customers between $100 and $150 million annually.

Meanwhile Bloomberg had this to say yesterday
States’ Appetite for Coal Shrinks, Except in Nebraska

By Yvette Romero

May 30, 2017

Prospects seem bleak for U.S. coal miners despite President Trump’s pledge to put them back to work. Coal’s share of U.S. power generation has been steadily eroding in the wake of clean-air regulations and the presence of cheap and plentiful natural gas. Nebraska, which opened two new coal-fired power plants in 2009 and 2011, is the only state that increased usage from 2006 to 2016. However, wind energy capabilities in Nebraska have increased, and it now generates more power from wind than all but three states, according to the American Wind Energy Association. 

 Change: coal’s share of power generation by state 2006-16

Source: U.S. Energy Information Administration

Methodology: Bloomberg ranked the 50 states and the District of Columbia on the decrease in their reliance on coal to generate electricity. Usage is in megawatt hours (MWh), which is one million watts of power delivered in one hour. Rhode Island, Vermont and District of Columbia did not use coal from 2006 to 2016.
