Meeting the industry-specific needs of real estate clients

Theodore Yi prides himself on understanding not just the salient laws but the many technical aspects of the commercial real estate transactions on which he works. Ted crafts a wide range of complex, large-scale transactions, with particular experience in commercial leasing, including leases for:

• Corporate headquarters offices
• Anchor retail stores
• Retail stores in complex mixed-use settings
• Medical facilities
• Industrial and warehouse buildings

With decades of experience, Ted is a voracious learner and loves his profession because it requires the constant acquisition of new skill sets and industry experience. He views each transaction in the context of the industry that will make use of the space, does his homework on how that industry uses space and tailors the language of the transaction to align with the specific needs of the owner or tenant. He works to meet the objectives of all parties to the agreement while upholding his responsibility to be a trustworthy advocate for his clients.
