ABOUT KARL FREDERIC

Karl Frederic conducts a multi-disciplinary practice focused on real estate transactions. He structures, negotiates, and closes deals in all asset classes ranging from the development of an NFL stadium to the sale of a pharmaceutical manufacturing plants to the acquisition of small parcels to consolidate into larger development parcels. Karl has represented clients in ground-up real estate projects for over thirty years. Such matters require broad knowledge and experience to address issues that arise in the various phases of a new development, including design, traffic and parking management, utility infrastructure, land use, construction, environmental risk assessment and management, insurance and finance. Typically, Karl is involved from the inception of a transaction and is positioned to advise clients on optimal transaction structures to facilitate investment and the prompt delivery of the completed project. Much of Karl’s practice has been focused on the healthcare, pharmaceutical and biotech industries. He has represented owners, developers and end-users in the repositioning and revitalization of single-user research and development campuses. He has also had pivotal roles in urban redevelopment projects throughout the metropolitan region, with a particular emphasis on the negotiation of long-term ground leases. With the advent of legalized cannabis, Karl has applied his experience in the retail, pharmaceutical and consumer packaged goods sectors to transactions in this emerging industry. Karl follows the cannabis industry, closely tracking both business and legal developments and attending and speaking at various industry events. The scope of many of the projects that Karl has handled for his clients has given him significant experience in working with public officials and government agencies to address civic impacts or procure funding from various public sources. He has been involved in key public policy initiatives that have resulted in landmark legislation and funding for capital projects
