Cozen O’Connor’s prominent leasing team represents landlords, tenants, and developers in their most critical and complex commercial real estate transactions. We structure deals to maximize value and preserve rights over the long term. Now more than ever, given the upheaval that began in 2020 due to COVID-19, counsel on the cutting edge is essential.
Top-ranked real estate professionals at Cozen O’Connor have led leasing in some of the most iconic office towers and commercial buildings in the country—from Gas Company Tower, U.S. Bank Tower, BNY Mellon Center, and Commerce Square to, more recently, Comcast Technology Center, Grand Avenue Project, 7 World Trade Center, and Capitol Crossing.
