About Melissa Papke
I advise on ideal structuring of initial and replacement financing for real estate investments and operating businesses, from simple one person, one asset transactions to complex multi-asset and multi-layer financing. I also represent banks, companies, hospitals, developers, brokers, and individual investors with negotiation and documentation of sales and acquisitions, commercial, industrial and retail leasing, construction projects, condominium projects, and development and zoning matters. In addition, my real estate experience includes farm and forest issues such as sustainable management plans, conservation easements, timber rights, and the sale of land-generated carbon credits in the voluntary and OTC markets.
