Cadwalader has been shortlisted as one of just four law firms in an inaugural awards program from Real Estate Capital USA, which will acknowledge the organizations and deals that “best represented the U.S. real estate debt market” in 2021.

As examples of the Real Estate Finance team’s recent high-profile work, Real Estate Capital USA points to Cadwalader’s lender representations in connection with the $3 billion single-asset/single-borrower (“SASB”) ESG-driven securitized refinancing of the One Vanderbilt skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan and the $4.65 billion SASB securitized financing as part of the $5.94 billion privatization of Extended Stay by The Blackstone Group and Starwood Capital Group.

The full list of nominees across all categories, which is open to voting through February 28, is available here.

Cadwalader's Real Estate team, with attorneys based in New York, London and Charlotte, applies its expertise to the complete spectrum of real estate transactions, including financings, acquisitions, sales and exchanges, development, construction, joint ventures, loan syndications and participations, management, and leasing.

Real Estate Capital USA, a publication of PEI Media that launched in 2021, provides analysis of the U.S. commercial real estate debt markets.
