Structuring

Global neighbourhood precinct, Brisbane – advising on a complex arrangement between the precinct developer and counter party, involving the acquisition of 56 apartments in one line and ongoing arrangements for the marketing and sell down of those apartments.

White & Partners – developing joint venture arrangements for projects as diverse as residential developments, office developments and the redevelopment of shopping centre sites. The documentation involves sophisticated drafting of profit share arrangements and the rules regulating the funding and management of the developments through the various stages.

John Maddison Tower (Sydney) – advising Telane Pty Ltd on the complex restructuring of the leasing arrangement for the John Maddison Tower (Goulburn Street, Sydney), which is crown leasehold and subleased to the Department of Justice, including negotiating and documenting reconfiguration of the head lease, amending existing financing arrangement, and negotiating and finalising a new sublease.

Investment through a debt structure – successfully structuring projects where investment from a joint venture party is structured as debt to minimise tax and duty implications. This usually involves the investor taking a second mortgage position behind the senior debt financier and drafting "custom made" security documents and significant negotiations.
